With power restored and campus cleanup well underway following Hurricane Ida, The National WWII Museum will reopen to the public on Monday, September 13, 2021.

Thank you for all your well wishes and messages of encouragement over the past few days as The National WWII Museum and communities across southeastern Louisiana continue cleanup and recovery efforts following Hurricane Ida.

Yesterday was a rough day for all of us in New Orleans and the surrounding region as Hurricane Ida tore through southern Louisiana as one of the most powerful storms to ever hit the United States. Today, we are thinking of all of our local visitors, supporters, and community members and hoping you and your loved ones made it through this dangerous storm safely.
