Designated by Congress as "America's National World War II Museum"
The museum presents a collection of personal stories, preserves important materials for research and scholarship, and inspires future generations to learn life lessons - teamwork, the value of democracy, unsung bravery - from the most complex military operations ever staged. The 110-seat Malcolm S. Forbes theater features two alternating films, the Museum's Academy Award-nominated film about the European Theater,
D-Day Remembered and
Price for Peace -- the story of the war in the Pacific. The museum was dedicated by World War II historian and museum founder, Stephen E. Ambrose, Steven Spielberg, and Tom Hanks.
