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 National World War I Museum at Liberty Memorial provides students and teachers a unique opportunity to study "The Great War" in the only United States museum solely dedicated to this global conflict. By making available to educators a number of educationally complete materials and opportunities, the museum is able to share our collection in ways that are challenging and thought provoking.
