The unique Naional World War II Museum was founded in
2000 by historian and author Dr Stephen Ambrose and has become regarded as a
highlight of any New Orleans sightseeing tour. Situated in New Orleans'
Warehouse District it depicts the June 6, 1944 invasion of Normandy, the Home
Front during World War II, and the D-Day Invasions in the Pacific. Exhibit
galleries include text panels, artefacts, and personal account stations where
visitors can listen to the stories of war veterans. A panorama exhibit recreates
a Normandy beach landing; there are also regular film shows.
