The national museum will be a lasting tribute to the American Soldier and will educate the public on the many contributions made by the men and women of the Army.

The museum will sit on 84 acres at Fort Belvoir, Va., and will display more than 15,000 pieces of the Army’s art collection and 30,000 artifacts, documents and images. Visitors will engage through its first-person soldier stories, interactive simulations, and more. It is expected to open in April 2019.
