Join The National WWII Museum as it opens its latest special exhibition, Degenerate! Hitler’s War on Modern Art. This traveling exhibit, originally created by and on loan from the Jewish Museum Milwaukee, examines the systematic suppression, censorship, and destruction of modern art by the Third Reich and features works labeled as “degenerate” by the Nazi regime.

Degenerate! will be on display from November 6, 2025, through May 6, 2026, in the Museum’s Senator John Alario, Jr. Special Exhibition Hall.

A reception from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. will precede the event, and the exhibit will be open for viewing before and after the presentation. This event is free and open to the public. Registration is encouraged. If you cannot make it to the Museum for this event, watch live through Vimeo.
