National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial

On December 2, 2006, the expanded National World War I Museum opened the window to an extraordinary
emotional and intellectual experience. Envisioned by
the people of Kansas City, designed by Ralph
Appelbaum Associates, and designated by Congress
as the nation’s official WWI Museum, the new state
of the art complex uses an incredible collection and highly-interactive technology to bring this global history to life, and to foster timely discussions of ethics, values, decision making and conflict resolution.

The Museum is open daily except Mondays,
Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Day from
10 a.m. – 5 p.m.

The Museum was selected as "Favorite Museum or Historical Site" in the 2008
KC Visitors' Choice Awards. The Visitors' Choice Awards are the only awards
that are chosen exclusively by visitors to Kansas City.

protruding from its turret, the rare tank is destined to become one of the most popular objects
on exhibit at the Museum.
