The National D-Day Museum
complex consists of a renovated, four-story, 19th century
warehouse and the adjoining four-story glass fronted Louisiana
Memorial Pavilion.
|
|
 |
|
|
Located in the growing arts
and warehouse district in Downtown New Orleans, the site itself measures
more than 70,500 square feet. The National D-Day Museum's primary exhibit
space, constructed in 1856, is the former home of the Louisiana Brewery. |
|
|
|
|
The 16,000-square-foot gallery
of The National D-Day Museum is divided into four, state-of-the-art,
interactive exhibits that intermix oral histories from veterans worldwide,
artifacts, documents and photographs with hands-on activities and never
before seen film footage. |
|
|
|
|
These series of exhibits take
Museum visitors through the weeks and days leading up to the D-Days of
World War II to the foggy morning of June 6 when the Allies landed on the
beaches of Normandy to the other decisive air and sea assaults that led to
victory in Europe and the Pacific. |

The National D-Day Museum is fully accessible to all visitors. Wheelchairs
are provided for use in the Museum. We offer short introductory Museum
guides in braille, French, Spanish and German. |

The National D-Day Museum's exhibits encompass the June 6, 1944 invasion
of Normandy, the Home Front during WWII, and the D-Day Invasions in the
Pacific. Exhibit galleries incorporate text panels, artifacts, and
Personal Account stations in which visitors may listen to the stories of
WWII veterans and others who supported the war effort.
We recommend allowing at least 2-3 hours to view
the Museum. |

The Malcolm Forbes Theater shows two exclusive WWII films: D-Day
Remembered (Normandy) and Price for Peace (the Pacific). These
films, each about 45 minutes long, show daily on an alternating basis
beginning with D-Day Remembered at 9:30 AM, Price for Peace at
10:30 AM and so on. A film is shown every hour on the half hour. Both
films are also available for purchase in our Museum Store. |
