Yes it is just a fantastic and emotive experience. Whether you are a history buff, want to touch the weaponry, understand the depth of human inhumanity and perhaps understand the emotions and lives of those caught up in this cataclysmic event, this museum is the place. A fantastic and comprehensive collection of material with historical significance; possessions of ordinary people,... More

It's hard to convey how amazing and important this collection of artifacts is and what a benefit it is to society, but, as a direct descendant of both a Holocaust survivor and a D-Day veteran, I am so eternally grateful that this museum exists. This museum has EVERYTHING imaginable, from actual tanks, guns, and ammunition to the exact chair that... More

I recently took my dad here for his birthday. My grandpa served in Guadalcanal and my dad is an Army Veteran himself. We were here for 3 hours and could have stayed all day. The extensive collection was both impressive and surprising- I was in awe of how much there was to offer. Who would have thought so many amazing... More

This place is unique. It has an impressive collection of artifacts, not only of Nazi Germany, but also from countries that were involved or occupied during this terrible war. I was impressed by the various original documents among others a copy of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of WW I. Worth mentioning is the Speakers Series on some... More

This is a special museum for which you need to apply for admission invitation by email, show identification and pay a hefty fee. Once inside, you will see the most incredible collection of WW II related items especially documents. Unlike other museums, guests are encouraged to handle many of the items in the collection. WOW!!

The Museum of World War 2 is probably one of the finest museum experiences I have had. The collection encompasses the history of the era from the beginnings of the Nazi propaganda movement to the aftermath of the war. The artifacts are all genuine and authentic pieces (e.g an early sketch of a swastika design by Hitler, a version of... More
