Join The National WWII Museum for a cruise of the picturesque Mediterranean region to learn more about its importance in World War II. Throughout history, many empires sought control of the Mediterranean as a trade route and power center. World War II was no different. As the first major battleground for the Allies in their efforts to liberate Europe, the Mediterranean proved to be a hotbed of espionage, a trial by fire for American forces, and a center of political discussion.

Join Josh Schick, curator of the special exhibit The Real Image of War: Steichen and Ford in the Pacific, as he highlights stories of some of the photographers featured in the exhibit and how they helped to create a visual record of the war.

After your Museum visit, join us in BB’s Stage Door Canteen for a casual performance of wartime piano music!
