The National World War II Museum is a special place that encourages learning – at all ages – and millions of Americans have come to recognize and appreciate the significance of World War II and the men and women who led us to victory in this war that changed the world. Our mission is urgent as America is losing 1,500 World War II veterans every day. Their stories need to be preserved so that people today, as well as future generations, will understand why and how World War II continues to influence so many aspects of daily life – civil liberties, global economies and laws, women’s rights, advances in technology and medicine, and most importantly, the values that preserve and protect a free society.
It was the War That Changed The World. Now, three remarkable new venues at The National World War II Museum will forever change the way you understand this pivotal event in modern history.
The Victory Theatre
The Solomon Victory Theater is the exclusive home to Beyond All Boundaries, a 4-D cinematic experience as epic, as extraordinary as the war itself. This unique experiential journey incorporates theatrical special effects, cutting edge digital technology and original World War II footage. Many of Hollywood’s top stars bring to life the actual words of soldiers and sailors and war correspondents in this powerful, authentic story. The Theater’s state-of-the-art special effects are riveting, but -- most of all -- you will understand as never before the price of freedom.

The Stage Door Canteen
The Stage Door Canteen is a salute to the WWII era venues that entertained anxious young men and women on their way to war and the A-list entertainers who boosted their morale. The performance and dining venue is an inviting space featuring a signature live show and other entertainment bringing to life the music of the war years.

The American Sector
The Canteen will segues The American Sector, a Chef John Besh restaurant. Besh, a renowned chef and James Beard Award winner, served with Marine Forces in the Gulf War. He was a finalist on The Food Network’s The Next Iron Chef and has made numerous appearances on network television. The restaurant, named for the historic area of New Orleans where the Museum is located, features a creative approach to classic American cuisine.The American Sector
