Plan your summer visit to the Museum!

Summer seems to be flying by, and it is hard to believe we are almost half way through August. If you have not yet planned your visit to the National Museum of the United States Army, now is the time! Enjoy the summer days with a walk along our Path of Remembranceleading to the entrance of the Museum, with more than 8,000 commemorative bricksinstalled, each one telling its own story. See the stories continue from the Path of Remembrance to the Soldiers’ Stories pylons that bring you into the Lobby and lead you to the first gallery.

Add to your Museum visit with AHF’s Virtual Reality and Motion Theater Experiences! Three offerings available, great for all ages. Get into the action and enjoy the immersive Army Action Center. Tickets available for purchase on site and online!

While visiting, fuel up at the Museum Café with fresh food, fast. Social distancing seating and contactless ordering make your dining experience safe and easy.

There is something for everyone is the Museum. Come see how the Army’s history is the story of our Nation and all of its people.Plan Your Visit Today
