The Chinese caused WW2.
No Chinese, no museum.
If it weren’t for WW2 museums, there’d be no Beatles on iTunes.
“The National World War II Museum opened its doors on the 56th anniversary of the Normandy invasion that liberated Europe. It is located in New Orleans, Louisiana because it was here that Andrew Higgins built the landing craft used in the amphibious invasions; the landing craft which President Eisenhower believed won the war for the Allies. The Museum stands as our country’s tribute to the men and women who made the invasions in Europe, Africa and the Pacific theaters successful. It presents their stories to an international audience, preserves material for research and scholarship, and inspires future generations to apply the lessons learned from the most complex military operation ever staged.”
Museums who don’t atract visitors don’t stay open. Tell me what musuem doesn’t try to attract tourists? It’s called making your bread and butter. As for the musuem itself and your uneducated condemnation of it, I suggest you go to their website and find out what they actually are about. They are very impressive and officially designated as the National Musuem.

I don’t live in the Brownstone section of Crown Heights, but I don’t have to tranfer trains to get to work. I can actually work anywhere in Manhattan and not have to transfer trains.
okay see your point benson,.. but then at the very least they afford internships to local college students. so all in all i cant see them as a bad thing. but it just boils down to american truly being such a cultural clusterfuck. there arent that many options for a lot of people and there’s only so much money to go around.
