 WHAT:                  Throughout July 2023, Louisiana residents can visit The National WWII Museum’s immersive galleries and experience Expressions of America for 50 percent off. As New Orleans’s #1 attraction, the Museum offers a great escape from the summer heat, making this the perfect time for local visitors to see what’s new—or to discover this world-renowned institution for the first time.

In addition to permanent galleries, visitors will also have the opportunity to explore the newest special exhibits at the Museum this summer. Featuring a collection of over 500 rare historical objects and film clips, the family-friendly Walt Disney Studios and World War II exhibit explores how one of America’s most beloved entertainment companies helped support Allied victory. Opening June 30, The Go for Broke Spirit: Legacy in Portraits exhibit explores the service, patriotism, and legacy of the second-generation Japanese American WWII veterans who persevered in the face of prejudice and risked their lives to advance the Allied effort through a selection of powerful portraits, artifacts and oral histories.

At Expressions of America, the Museum’s nighttime sound and light show, history is brought to life like never before. Visitors will enjoy an unforgettable evening as music by the Victory Belles and awe-inspiring images projected 90 feet tall transport you back in time.

In addition to half-price admission, the Museum is also offering special summer rates on guided tours of Campaigns of Courage and Arsenal of Democracy galleries as well as Into the Vault and Out of the Vault experiences that provide exclusive glimpses of rarely seen artifacts from the Museum’s collection.

Museum admission and Expressions of America tickets will both start at just $10. To receive the July discount, residents must present a valid Louisiana state ID at the Museum’s ticket counter. The 50 percent discount is limited to four admissions per ID. For an additional fee of $7.00 each, visitors can also choose to include the 4D film experience Beyond All Boundaries and the interactive Final Mission: USS Tang Submarine Experience. Tickets may be pre-purchased online.

The National WWII Museum tells the story of the American experience in the war that changed the world—why it was fought, how it was won, and what it means today—so that all generations will understand the price of freedom and be inspired by what they learn. Dedicated in 2000 as The National D-Day Museum and now designated by Congress as America’s National WWII Museum, the institution celebrates the American spirit, the teamwork, optimism, courage and sacrifices of the men and women who fought on the battlefront and served on the Home Front.
