World War I One Museum Blog, Store, Artifacts

NWWOne.org is proud to present our World War 1 Blog

On December 2, 2006, the 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 highly-interactive technology
to bring history to life, and to foster timely discussions
of ethics, values, decision making and conflict resolution.
