National Museum of the United States Army

ABOUT US Welcome to the National Museum of the United States Army. We are excited that you’re here and planning a visit to this beautiful, state-of-the-art national museum. Here, we proudly tell the comprehensive story of America’s oldest military service, the United States Army. America’s Soldiers are among the finest of our citizenry and have been instrumental in the forming, fighting for, and protecting our nation. The Museum tells these stories through the very eyes and voices of our Soldiers. From the historic “Fighting for the Nation Gallery” to the “Army Society Gallery,” the artifacts, exhibits and programmatic elements will help you discover new stories and explore the ways our nation has benefited from the innovation and advancement of its Army. In the Experiential Learning Center and Fort Discover we offer fun, educational venues for all visitors. They provide the opportunity to learn specific Soldier skills and then use those skills to respond to a humanitarian mission. It is my sincere hope that you will leave the Museum richer in your understanding, knowledge and admiration of our American Soldiers and the many parts they have played in this nation’s role as a global leader.
