Behind the Scenes Tours
Go behind the scenes at the National Museum of the Pacific War with a private guided collections tour for up to eight guests.
This exclusive experience takes you upstairs into areas of the Museum’s collection not typically open to the public, offering a rare look at artifacts, storage spaces, and the preservation work that happens behind the scenes. Designed for a smaller group, this 60- to 90-minute tour provides a more personal and engaging opportunity to connect with the stories and objects that shape our understanding of the Pacific War.
Private collections tours are $500 and include admission to the George H.W. Bush Gallery for all guests in the group. Tours are available Tuesdays and Thursdays at 9:00 a.m., 11:00 a.m., and 1:00 p.m.
