MacArthur Memorial

The MacArthur Memorial is a museum in downtown Norfolk, United States, featuring nine galleries with artifacts from the general's military career. The collection includes uniforms, medals, photographs, and personal items documenting his role in several wars.

The memorial opened in 1964 inside Norfolk's former city hall, a building dating from 1850. The city chose this location to honor the general, who spent his final years here.

The research center preserves personal letters and military documents that offer insight into 20th-century American history. Visitors can trace how views of the Pacific War and postwar period developed over time.

Admission is free, with opening hours from Tuesday to Saturday starting at 10 AM and Sunday at 11 AM. The galleries spread across multiple floors within the historic city hall.

The general and his wife are buried in a rotunda inside the building. This crypt sits directly beneath the dome of the former city hall and is open to visitors.
