It IS open to the public, all you have to do is show ID at the checkpoint. Amazing musuem to see, it's a hidden gem, and worth the trip.

If you're coming to New Orleans to see the National WWII museum, you are missing half the story my friend. This museum is incredible for history buffs and "armored enthusiasts" alike. Their collection includes (but not limited to); a FT 17 in great condition, an M5 Stuart, MTLB, m4a3 Sherman, M60 and m47 Patton, an m3 half track, and an Israeli modified bulldozer. They also have a host of great aircraft shown outside alongside a LITERAL WALL OF GUNS. I was extremely impressed by this museum and can only recommend to anyone coming to New Orleans. Admission is completely free (though ID is needed) and the inside exhibits have AC.

I haven't been in this place for over 20 years. And I saw they made it bigger with more war artifacts. It's a great place to visit and take the kids to teach them about World War 2 history.
