Publisher Description As the second-most visited museum in the United States, The National WWII Museum attracts hundreds of thousands of patrons every year to its campus in New Orleans. Guests can tour its extensive permanent galleries and embedded multimedia displays, view special or traveling exhibits, dine in one of the two on-site restaurants, and stay at the facilitys hotel, The Higgins Hotel & Conference Center. But todays sprawling complex had its start on a more modest scale, opening as The National D-Day Museum on June 6, 2000, the fifty-sixth anniversary of D-Day and the Allied landing at Normandy. Historian Stephen E. Ambrose spearheaded efforts to construct the Museum, in part as a place to gather the many hundreds of oral histories and artifacts he had collected for a book project. Attendance surged after the kickoff, and his friend, fellow historian, and collaborator on the project, Gordon H. "Nick" Mueller, secured U.S. congressional designation in 2004, acknowledging the institution as Americas official museum dedicated to the Second World War. This recognition initiated a 245,000-square-foot expansion to realize the Museums Master Plan, incorporating immersive, story-driven exhibits and architectural features meant to unify the growing campus.Building The National WWII Museum, by Mueller and research historian Kali Martin Schick, tells the story of the Museums remarkable progress, from its early days as The National D-Day Museum to the unveiling of the Museums final section, the Liberation Pavilion, in November 2023.
