The past, present, and future of The National WWII Museum's collection of oral histories. 

On July 9, The National WWII Museum’s patrol torpedo (PT) boat 305 will return to her permanent home on the Museum’s campus in the John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion (KRP), providing an opportunity for hundreds of thousands of Museum visitors each year to observe the fully restored vessel up close and learn of her wartime crew members and tours of duty.

On June 6, 2015, The National WWII Museum will simultaneously commemorate the 71st anniversary of the D-Day invasion at Normandy and the 15th anniversary of its opening as The National D-Day Museum in 2000. After receiving Congressional designation to become America’s WWII Museum in 2004, the institution launched a major campaign in order to expand into a world-class educational institution that preserves the stories of the Greatest Generation, while benefiting and inspiring future generations.

Museum volunteers gather to celebrate milestone birthdays. 

The National WWII Museum welcomed 100,592 visitors to its campus in March 2018, shattering the institution’s previous monthly record of 84,858 visitors set in March 2017.
