ET138 – The Soldier's Voice: The National Museum of the U.S. Army
Additional fee, registration required.
The National Museum of the United States Army tells the story of the oldest branch of the U.S. military. The museum is a thoughtful integration of spaces that amplify the soldier's voice through exhibits telling the story of each military campaign throughout the Army's history.
The tour will take you through the campus and into each of the five pavilions, which house multiple military exhibits. You'll explore key symbology woven throughout the interior design and integrated within the exhibits and end the experience with a visit to the cafeteria and museum shop.
