The National WWII Museum

The National WWII Museum in New Orleans is the nation's official museum of the Second World War, consistently ranked among the best museums in the country. Founded in 2000 (originally as the D-Day Museum, sited here because the war's landing craft were built in New Orleans), it tells the American experience of the war through immersive exhibits, restored aircraft, and personal accounts.
