National World War II Museum

Telling War Stories

A video showcasing the many interactive experiences in the museum that both educate and tell stories that deeply resonate with visitors.

Project Overview

The National World War II Museum’s new permanent exhibit, “The Arsenal of Democracy,” pulls visitors into life in America during the War.

We designed and developed interactives for the exhibit and updated the museum’s signature interactive kiosk system—over 80 kiosks in total— to create a stronger, more intuitive, and more evocative experience.

We pulled from across the spectrum of current technology— touchscreens, hand-tracking, and projection— to bring this story to life. Each experience is tailored to support content we developed in collaboration with the museum curators.
