I visited the WW II museum in New Orleans last week. It strikes me as not so much a museum as an elaborate and comprehensive presentation of the war and the various elements. There were few exhibits of stuff but many many displays of text and graphics. There were also numerous movie and TV displays, some long some short. It is a teaching experience to open doors to further study
It is very well done and to start at the beginning and see everything to the end would take perhaps two days. We were there most of the day.
New Orleans is home to the Higgins boat so the big displays included the landing craft prominently and they are restoring a Higgins made PT boat as well. The displays also include some air craft, a Sherman tank, a half track, a jeep and an ambulance.
The “stuff” exhibits are weak when compared to the Naval air museum in Pensacola or the Nimitiz National Museum of the Pacific War museum in Fredicksburg Texas
The museum is still growing and more stuff will be acquired I think. It is worth a day if you are in New Orleans.
Thanks for the run down on the museum. I had not heard of it but I have visted the other two you list. We will have to check it out sometime.
