John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion offers up-close looks at WWII macro-artifacts, including the Museum’s patrol torpedo boat, PT-305, and ongoing restoration projects in the WWII Motor Pool. The Pavilion also houses the STEM Innovation Gallery, an educational space that gives visitors the opportunity to engage in tactile learning and exploration. 

In a war where the terrain was as deadly as the enemy, this pavilion tells the story of American servicemembers abroad—and how they overcame unprecedented challenges on multiple fronts to win victory in World War II. In over 19,000 square feet of exhibit space, two extraordinary exhibitions bring visitors inside the epic story of the war in its most infamous settings, bringing to life jungles, beaches, mountains, and oceans in 19 immersive galleries.

Exclusive to The National WWII Museum, Beyond All Boundaries is a 4D cinematic experience bringing to life America’s WWII story through the words of those who experienced it. This immersive journey from Pearl Harbor to V-J Day features cutting-edge special effects, rare archival footage and images, and first-person accounts voiced by an all-star cast—including narration by executive producer Tom Hanks. Beyond All Boundaries is shown hourly in Solomon Victory Theater from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

In World War II—the war that changed the world—freedom hung in the balance. Americans answered the call to protect that freedom with 16 million men and women serving in uniform and an untold number of citizens of all ages doing their part on the Home Front. In US Freedom Pavilion: The Boeing Center, we honor their contributions.
