Intrepid has served our nation for more than 75 years, playing crucial roles in World War II, the Cold War, Vietnam War and the Space Race. Now as the centerpiece of a world class museum – the Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum – it continues to serve with a new mission: to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through its collections, exhibitions and programming, in order to honor our heroes, educate the public, and inspire our youth.

Digital resources available through the Intrepid Museum’s website include: virtual talks and tours; virtual museum visits to experience the exhibitions; their own YouTube channel to search and explore over 300 engaging videos featuring aircraft highlights, Women in History, and behind-the-scenes features, collection showcases and much more; an oral history project with stories of those who served on board the historic aircraft carrier Intrepid from 1943 to 1974, as well as many teacher and students resources.

Current online exhibitions include “The Rise of Giving: American Philanthropy and WWI,” “War Fare: From the Homefront to the Frontlines” about the effects of food on the war, “Trenches of WWI: An Immersive Tour,” and many more. The museum also offers an online collections database, and educational resources. And its bimonthly program “Mrs. Wilson’s Knitting Circle” will go virtual on April 4. Along with the knitting, public program specialist Camille Kulig will discuss the rise of modern art in the 1910s and 1920s.

Virtual museum offerings include “Road to Tokyo,” the "Arsenal of Democracy,” telling the story of how the war was won, and the "Road to Berlin." The National WWII Museum's exhibits cover the epic and global scale of the war that changed the world, in a voice that is intimate and personal. Exhibits not only highlight the role of world leaders, but also the everyday men and women who found the strength and courage to accomplish the extraordinary.
