This two-story, 170,000-square-foot venue tells the story of the Infantry Warrior.
The 9,000-square-foot marble grand rotunda serves as both the museum’s grand entrance and reception hall and is accented by a glass-enclosed Hall of Valor.
Six portals ranging from 2,763 to 5,602 square feet were constructed off the main gallery to display distinct eras in infantry history and priceless treasures from over the years.
The project also included a 300-seat, 3-D IMAX theater, interactive displays, engrossing exhibits, simulator activities, and ceremony parade ground.
The museum site is adjacent to Fort Benning, home of the United States Army Infantry, and is surrounded by over 200 acres of green space including a memorial walk of honor.
