National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial

The National World War I Museum


Designed by Ralph Applebaum who also designed the Holocaust Museum in WDC, the museum is part of the Liberty Memorial and a must-see, offering glimpses of objects and documents ranging from weaponry and uniforms used during the war, to letters and postcards from the field. The most recent acquisition is a WWI French Renault FT-17 tank that was pierced by artillery during the war. The museum opened December 2, 2006. This is the only museum in the world dedicated to WWI.
