The National WWII Museum is the perfect place to host your Military Reunion! We have multiple options for your Reunion to partake in and we are happy to assist you in planning your visit.
The Museum's exhibits are self guided and cover the epic and global scale of the war that changed the world, in a voice that is intimate and personal, right in the heart of New Orleans. Museum exhibits offer visitors an opportunity to experience the war through the eyes of the men and women who lived it.
