It's so awesome you'll want to add a history board to TD just to talk about the damn thing.
It's an incredible treasure for New Orleans to have.

They aren't finished with all the wings in the Masterplan, but two have opened in the last few years.
It's a really good museum. It isn't the Smithsonian.

2 1/2 to 3 hours at least in the galleries. beyond all boundaries is the movie well worth the time. don't even bother with final mission unless you're bringing kids, it's pretty bad.

You deserve to be ridiculed for this thread. But I won't be the one to do it.
The museum is interesting if you like WW2. I find it depressing and I won't go back.

I went this past weekend. It had been pre Katrina last time I went. Spend all day there. Worth it. 2-3 hrs is not enough.

Go soon while there are still some WW2 vets alive and at the museum that you can talk to.

How's the parking situation for this?
I ask b/c big cities scare me.
Also, if I go and knock it out in the morning, where would be good for a late lunch?

I took my grandfather about two months ago. He's a WWII vet. He thought it was amazing! I thought it was amazing! Give yourself a lot of time to walk around and look at everything. We spent about 5 or 6 hours checking everything out. The only thing my grandpa was on the fence about was the movies because they are loud as shite for a 91 year old. 
They were adding a new wing when we were there, I forget what it was called, but it looked like it was almost ready. It is definitely worth spending the day there checking it out. It is interesting the reason they decided to put the WWII museum in New Orleans as well. You'll see all of that when you tour the museum. It sparked a lot of memories for my grandfather and it was awesome listening to him tell his war stories. He teared up a few times at some of the memories. They are an amazing generation.

There are a couple of errors.
At least one of the maps says Union of Socialist Soviet Republics.

Beyond awesome. A two day visit. Well worth the trip.

Just went last weekend for my 2nd time.
The 4D movie is ok but a little overpriced IMO. Make sure you eat at the canteen or American Sector for lunch.
I read most of everything and 75% of the audio and visual commentary. It took me about 4 hours and i had to rush through the last part of the Pacific portion.
If I were to recommend it to some one local, take a day off On a weekday and go when human traffic is low. Can be very crowded on weekends.
The newest wing open has some real airplanes, tanks, and other vehicles available to view. Pretty cool and similar to what you would see at the smithsonian.
The newest wing isn't open yet.
Oh and they have a new movie out related to submarines.

Well Stephen Ambrose founded it for one reason NO but I'm sure the Higgens Boat had something to do with it as well.

Hoping to visit it when I go to New Orleans later this year.
I'll have 31 start drawing up the plans like he did for Nurse's big visit. Have Lester Earl step his game up at his box so he is in tip top shape. Pox bake Kulunda's favorite pie. And make sure Uncle GlassMan plans a big party at Finn's so all the B class OTers are busy finger banging each other
Just gotta give me a date Bro ........ And a credit card number for the tab

The Higgins boat is definitely why they did it.
If you look at the main lobby where he Higgins boat replica is located the plaque even says so.
