Congress designated this institution as the official National World War II Museum in 2004, expanding from its initial focus on D-Day operations.

The museum preserves wartime experiences through extensive collections of photographs, artifacts, and recorded testimonies from veterans across different military branches.

Admission costs 30 dollars for adults, with discounts for seniors, students, and military members, while World War II veterans enter without charge.
