This is the best museum that I have been to. It seems to me that they have utilised all the media advances that have come out of places such as Disney (4d films) and have put them to use to explain a complex subject. The campaigns are explained in a systematic way, there are a lot of short films which... More

I had to ask the question: Why is this museum in New Orleans? It is because of historian Stephen Ambrose's New Orleans connections and interest in starting a museum and the Higgins boat factory in New Orleans that produced all the amphibious landing craft for D-Day. The museum now has 3 of 6 planned buildings open. The latest is the... More

We spent six hours just in one exhibit. The museum is exceptionally well curated, fascinating and a grand salute to all who served in WW II both abroad and at home. Dont miss Beyond All Boundaries, the movie...you will come away with a greater appreciation for your country. Also, try the canteen...very nice "period" menu. If you have just a... More

On our way home from a family vacation in FL, we decided to break up the drive by stopping in New Orleans and visiting the National WWII Museum. What a powerful and moving experience - such an important reminder of the sacrifice my grandfather, and so many others like him, made. The movie featuring Tom Hanks was incredible and every... More

I was told that when in New Orleans, a visit to the World War II Museum is a must, otherwise the trip would not be complete. Well, those who told me were surely right. It's a magnificent museum with very impressive collections and displays. I was told that Tom Hanks was behind in establishing this fine museum. It's a definite... More

By way of background I'm a 40 year old American that served in the Air Force for 7 years. Last year, my wife and I were in NO for business and I discovered this was here and we visited and were blown away. This year, on a trip back from FL, we decided to detour and take our kids. Wow.... More

During my business trip to New Orleans, I had a little time to myself on one afternoon, and decided to tour the National WWII museum. it was very nice visit, and learned some new things about the war that I didn't recall - take your time going through, since there's a lot to see, read and many exhibits have extra...

I don't know where to start with this review. There is so much to say, but I don't want to give anything away. Let me begin by saying I learned more about World War II during my visit to this museum than I ever learned in school (and I have a M.Ed.) The museum is interactive, which is key to... More

The Beyond All Boundaries movie was worth the price of admission. My husband and I spent several hours enjoying the many exhibits and the volunteers who would share their knowledge of the displays. We definitely want to go back when the other parts of the museum is complete.
