The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world: why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means now. It spans several pavilions, each organized around a different front of the war. Road to Berlin traces the European campaign, Road to Tokyo traces the course of the war in the Pacific, and the Arsenal of Democracy shows how factories and families at home armed the effort. What sets the collection apart is its intimacy. Oral histories, personal artifacts, and firsthand accounts keep the war at human scale, told through the people who lived it. Your visit is self-guided, so the galleries move at whatever pace you set and allows you to explore whatever draws your attention.
