The National Museum of the Marine Corps is a lasting tribute to the U.S. Marine Corps. Located adjacent to Quantico Marine Corps Base, the museum’s 210-foot tilted steel mast and glass atrium with suspended aircraft features is impressive for every age. Visitors learn about the history of the Marines by starting in the Leatherneck Gallery with hanging aircraft from the ceiling and tanks in the lobby. Journey into the first interactive exhibit that simulates the intensity of boot camp. Test your rifle skills with a laser-designated target acquisition M-16 at the rifle range. Feel the ground shake as you land on Iwo-Jima on D-Day in 1945 or brave the cold elements in the winter battlefield room depicting the Korean War. 

The Museum currently showcases the history of the Corps from 1775 to the Vietnam era.  Construction on the Museum’s 115,000 sqft “Final Phase” addition will open in phases starting in 2019.  The Museum is working on completing the new historical gallery spaces which will tell the Marine Corps story from 1976 through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
