The National Museum of the Pacific War in Fredericksburg,
Texas is among the finest Second World War museums in the country, and the only
exclusively dedicated to the Pacific theatre of WWII and Admiral Nimitz, Commander in Chief of the U.S. Pacific Fleet.
The museum addresses many diverse relevant aspects of WWII in the Pacific Area
of Operations. The indoor section of the museum features several enclosed areas
and environmental displays, while the items on display outdoors contain various
aircraft, tanks, aquatic vessels, as well artillery. The Japanese Garden of Peace, planted by
actual Japanese gardeners as a post-war symbol of concord, is also located
within the grounds and serves to give a ongoing closure to this event in
history.
To help guide visitors across this expansive museum, many maps are signage are utilized with a design style similar to vintage posters from the era.
The walls are filled with graphics and display text about
specific conflicts and relevant information, some being interactive activities
or videos with sound.
