Exhibitions

The Main Gallery of the National WWI Museum and Memorial is located beneath the Liberty Memorial Courtyard, and holds the permanent exhibition, “The World War, 1914-1919.” Through original objects and documents, video, recreated trenches and interactive tables, the Main Gallery shares a comprehensive history of the First World War with visitors.

Current Exhibitions are housed in Memory Hall and Exhibit Hall, Ellis Gallery and the Wylie Gallery, a state-of-the-art special exhibition space that opened in 2018. These limited-run exhibitions tell curated stories about WWI, often drawing from the Museum and Memorial's comprehensive archives of more than 330,000 objects and documents.

Online Exhibitions showcase special digital exhibitions developed and produced by the Museum and Memorial, as well as online exhibitions presented on digital platforms like Google Arts & Culture.

Past Exhibitions are on-site exhibitions that have been granted new life online. By archiving this content, the Museum and Memorial can continue to share these unique stories with the world long after the exhibition ends.
