The National World War I Museum Is Right Here In Missouri and You Need To Visit
Most of us probably remember sitting in history class, maybe writing notes to our friends or sometimes even nodding off as we listened to a laundry list of facts. But, if we had a really good history teacher, we sat enthralled at her every word because she made history come alive. She made it real. Museums, like the National World I Museum and Memorial, are similar. History leaps alive – through interactive exhibits and firsthand narrative – at this unforgettable museum in Missouri.
Carve out plenty of time for your visit to the National World I War Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, which boasts the world's largest collection of World War I artifacts.
Wear comfy shoes for your visit to the sprawling museum that boasts more than 75,000 artifacts from World War I - from life-size trenches to a chronological wall of the Great War.
The museum's exhibitions change regularly. Current exhibitions include The Volunteers: Americans Join World War I, Color of Memory: Fabric Art in WWI, and Devastated Lands.
