K–12 educators are invited to apply to attend our 2025 Teaching World War II Summer Teacher Workshops. Classroom teachers, building master teachers, curriculum specialists, administrators, and preservice teachers are welcome! There are both Humanities and STEM workshops.

In celebrating the 20th Anniversary of The National World War II Museum’s opening we are taking time to look back at the many volunteers who have helped make the Museum what it is today. One of the longest-serving volunteers was a man named Richard M. Warren. Better known as “Doc,” he worked with all three Higgins boat restoration projects until his passing in June 2015.

The National WWII Museum ended 2017 by smashing previous visitation records. In 2017, the institution welcomed 706,664 visitors – the most in a single calendar year since opening its doors in 2000. Additionally, on  broke its single-day attendance record by welcoming 6,642 guests. The previous single-day record of 5,553 was set in 2016.

For the third consecutive year, The National WWII Museum is showing its appreciation to local supporters by offering discounted admission to Louisiana residents. During the entire month of September, locals will have the opportunity to enjoy the Museum’s exhibits and galleries for only half the price of regular Museum admission, including the newly opened special exhibit The Pelican State Goes to War: Louisiana in World War II, which offers a deep dive into the contributions of Louisianans to the Allied victory, both on the battlefield and on the Home Front.

The National WWII Museum today announced two distinct student travel programs that allow high school and college students the opportunity to earn college credit while exploring the leadership lessons and real-life decision-making scenarios of World War II. Both Normandy Academy and Student Leadership Academy will provide students with an unique educational journey that challenges them to learn from choices made during the WWII era.
