Senator John Alario special exhibition hall at the National WWII Museum

Senator John Alario, Jr. Special Exhibition Hall

The large-scale, 3,764 square-foot special exhibit space within the Hall of Democracy allows the Museum to present major exhibitions on WWII-related subjects not covered in our permanent exhibits, as well as more in-depth coverage of subjects that are in the permanent exhibits. The 16-foot-tall space often presents new discoveries and significant themed displays—both allowing the Museum to host more special traveling exhibits and offering the potential to curate and produce more substantial exhibits in-house. Thanks to a gift from Joy and Boysie Bollinger, the Senator John Alario, Jr. Special Exhibition Hall not only attracts new visitors, but keeps the Museum experience fresh and engaging to encourage repeat visits as the institution continues to explore and present little-known parts of the war. This expansive exhibit hall also provides additional space for Museum programming, educational activities, private receptions, and special events. The gallery helps the Museum link iconic artifacts, images, and documents to oral histories, archival film segments, maps, and geographic details from historic battlefields and other WWII sites.
