Main Street Entrance Capital Campaign
Join us as stewards of our mission, ensuring that the Museum honors the legacy of those who served in the Pacific War while inspiring and welcoming guests of all ages with the stories and enduring relevance of the Pacific War.

The Admiral Nimitz Foundation, and the National Museum of the Pacific War, have a wonderful opportunity for a $500,000 matching grant toward our planned construction of a new campus entrance on Main Street.
Slated for completion in 2026, this project’s cost is estimated at $10 million. This is not merely an enhancement to our facilities but an impactful solution to a persistent problem, in that many visitors remain unaware of the George H.W. Bush Gallery – our largest gallery -- often mistaking the Admiral Nimitz Gallery as the entirety of the National Museum of the Pacific War.
By creating an inviting and engaging portico from Main Street, leading seamlessly through the Nimitz Patio, Allied Plaza, and the Plaza of the Presidents to the Bush Gallery East Entrance, we will transform the visitor experience and significantly increase our visibility.
Inside the grand entrance, the campus will welcome visitors to the patio area of the Historic Nimitz Hotel building and to the plazas in the center of the campus.
From mid-campus, the George H.W. Bush Gallery will beckon visitors to explore the history, artifacts and stories of World War II in the Asiatic Pacific Theater.
To unlock this generous pledge, we must raise $500,000 in donations by June 2025.
