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's exhibits encompass the June 6, 1944 invasion
of Normandy, the Home Front during WWII, and the D-Day Invasions in the

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. |
