Located in New Orleans, The National WWII Museum interprets the United States' contribution to Allied victory in World War II and grew from a D-Day-focused institution into a major national museum and cultural center. Its origins lie in the city's connection to Andrew Higgins's landing craft, which linked New Orleans to amphibious warfare and the Normandy invasion. Founded in 2000 as the National D-Day Museum and designated by Congress in 2003 as the official national museum for World War II, it has expanded into a large campus with immersive exhibits, theaters, restored aircraft, and pavilions covering Europe, the Pacific, the home front, liberation, and the war's lasting consequences.
