The National WWII Museum cares for more than 350,000 artifacts from the WWII era. Some are small objects that belonged to individual servicemembers. Others are huge vehicles and machines that helped win the war.
In John E. Kushner Restoration Pavilion’s WWII Motor Pool, you can watch our team bring these large objects back to their wartime appearance. Staff and volunteers research each artifact, gather the right parts, and spend hundreds of hours restoring it carefully and safely.
