The National WWII Museum today announced the opening of its newest special exhibit, Ghost Army: The Combat Con Artists of World War II.

The National WWII Museum was once again named among the top museums in the nation and the world in the 2018 TripAdivsor Travelers’ Choice Awards, ranking No. 3 in the United States and No. 8 in the world.

While staff at The National WWII Museum are preparing for a very busy 2015, they are also looking back on a year of several major milestones for the New Orleans institution. The Museum ended 2014 with more than 515,000 visitors, a 14 percent increase from the previous year. On December 13, the newest pavilion on the growing campus, Campaigns of Courage: European and Pacific Theaters, opened to the public with the first phase of exhibits—"Road to Berlin: European Theater Galleries".

Now the story of that struggle is the story that unfolds inside the new Campaigns of Courage: Europe and Pacific Theaters pavilion opening December 13, 2014 at The National WWII Museum in New Orleans. Assembled for the first time in one space is the epic story of America’s citizen soldiers on the battlefields. Visitors will discover how the war that changed the world was fought and won through the words and deeds of the participants themselves – those called the Greatest Generation.
