We are pleased to welcome guests back to the galleries! Your visit will be different, so we encourage you to learn about the measures in place to make your experience at America’s official WWI Museum and Memorial as safe as possible.

The Museum and Memorial will be closed on Thursday, Nov. 26, for Thanksgiving. Regular hours will resume on Friday, Nov. 27. Please visit our Hours and Admission page for more information on our holiday hours.

Women’s fashion played a surprisingly important role during WWI, especially in France. Learn why fashion was more than simply a means of personal expression in the new special exhibition Silk and Steel: French Fashion, Women and WWI – a new chapter of the history of the war at the Museum and Memorial.
