10. The National WWII Museum
The National WWII Museum is the most famous tourist destination in New Orleans, and according to travel experts, the #2 in the US. It’s one of the best museums that tell the story of WWII — from the combat experience of the American troops abroad to the industrial efforts on the home front.
Offering a gripping blend of poignant personal detail and sweeping narrative, the whole place features multimedia experiences, immersive exhibits, and a wide-ranging collection of first-person oral histories that acquaint visitors with the story of the war: why it happened, how it was won, and what the consequences were.
This is definitely one of the best museums to understand history: you’ll have the opportunity to ride on an authentically restored PT boat, handle artifacts alongside Museum curators, and discover an impressive collection of working and restored macro-artifacts.
