The National WWII Museum commemorates the 70th Anniversary of D-Day in France and in New Orleans with the help of the men who took part in the historic invasion on June 6, 1944.
This weekend, The National WWII Museum capped off a record-breaking fiscal year with another milestone: welcoming the 4 millionth visitor to the institution.
The National WWII Museum will embark on the tour of a lifetime, setting foot in a land still “haunted by history.” Bestselling author and WWII historian Donald L. Miller guides travelers through England’s East Anglia countryside, presenting an intimate and unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the past.
The National WWII Museum’s first-ever WWII AirPower Expo, in partnership with the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), was an unqualified success. More than 10,000 visitors came to the Lakefront Airport over the weekend to climb inside restored planes, including a B-17, C-45, and the world’s only flying B-29. Visitors were also able to speak with the veterans who flew iconic WWII aircraft.
The National WWII Museum is proud to partner with Urban League of Louisiana—Office of Workforce Development and NextOP Vets to offer a Virtual Job Fair for Gulf Coast Veterans.
Families: join us for a special conversation with Museum volunteer and WWII veteran George Bryant.
In appreciation for artworks of all kinds, enjoy a short sketching workshop with Michelle Pontiff, Education Coordinator, from the Ogden Museum of Southern Art!
