The National WWI Museum and Memorial is open.
The Museum and Memorial relies on the generosity of private philanthropy, visitor revenue and event rentals to sustain our mission. We receive no federal funding for our operations budget.
We hope you will join us to remember, interpret and understand the enduring impact of WWI on our world today.
