June 6, 2000 marked the opening of the National D-Day Museum found in New Orleans' Warehouse District at 945 Magazine Street. This building is a four-story nineteenth century warehouse and former brewery. Construction was completed on this building in 1856. It covers 70,000 square feet and is located near the Contemporary Arts Center, the Confederacy Museum, and the future Ogden Museum of Southern Art. Former University of New Orleans professor and World War II historian, Stephen E. Ambrose founded the National D-Day Museum.
The National D-Day Museum is the first of its kind in this country. Until now, there had been no memorial to those who fought in World War II. The Museum recently purchased the St. Lo Collection which is the museum's hallmark. It contains over 3,500 artifacts from the Battle of D-Day. Also included are artifacts that veterans and their families have donated over the years: posters, photographs, uniforms, and other memorabilia. The interactive exhibits show both adults and children how events during this war influence our daily lives through oral histories, artifacts, documents, hands-on activities, and previously unseen film footage.
