Excellent museum

The people who have created and keep improving this museum have done an excellent job preserving and presenting the history of WWII. Recommend visiting this museum if you’re in New Orleans. There’s a lot of history here.

Emotional, moving, and awe inspiring

The museum honors what is considered the finest generation of Americans. The story of WWII is told in interactive displays, movies, artifacts and memorabilia, and WWII surviving service members. The range of emotions and the tremendous impact cannot be put into words, if you served...More

Amazing

One of the best museums we have ever seen. Incredibly immersive, inspirational and informative. The exhibits were incredible and everything is presented objectively without feeling slanted towards the United States involvement in the war. Even for people who aren’t interested in history or war, I...More

Well done.

This is a must for every American and non-America to experience. Plans a couple of hours and you must see Beyond Boundaries. Thank you to all our Veterans and their family members for your sacrifice!

Must see when in NOLA

The WWII museum was unbelievable. We took the 1 hour tour which is free and well worth it. We spent 4 hours in the museum and still did not have a chance to see everything. I would highly recommend visiting the WWII museum.

Great dedication to the war

We visited on a short trip to NOLA. It was a beautiful museum with a lot of great artifacts. We went on Veteran's day, so it was quite busy and it was a lot to navigate all there was to see. We also watched the...More

WOW

One of the best museums I’ve ever visited. If you have any knowledge of the war, had a parent or grandparent that was enlisted - well worth your time.

Once a thriving industrial zone, today this district

assortment of galleries, boutiques, and studios having

warehouses for which the area is so well known. Much
of the art you'll come across here is local in scope,

We went mid-week arrived just after opening about 10:30 a.m. A line was short and moved quickly. They had lots of cashiers open to pay for your ticket and ask questions. Well organized. Enjoy if you go.
