The John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion features glass exterior walls that allow the public a behind-the scenes, up-close view of priceless WWII artifacts. Visitors are able to see firsthand an LCPL boat, LVT4 amphibious warfare vehicle, Howitzer, and other artifacts which played an important role in winning World War II. Previously, the pavilion was home to PT-305, a Higgins Industries PT boat restored by Museum volunteers over nearly a decade, which is now housed on Lake Pontchartrain. New to the pavilion is the STEM Innovation Gallery, which focuses on how problems were solved during World War II through ingenuity and innovation.
This pavilion is perfect for receptions up to 125 or a small seated buffet dinner up to 50 guests.
