* THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN DONATING ARTIFACTS TO OUR MUSEUM. THE NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE PACIFIC WAR IS PAUSING THE ACCEPTANCE OF ARTIFACT DONATIONS DURING OUR ONGOING 2025 RENOVATION. *
Thank you for considering the National Museum of the Pacific War as the potential home of your artifacts. Our museum staff is honored to be recognized for donations, and our Center for Pacific War Studies team is excited to speak with you further!
During the extensive renovation of our George H.W. Bush Gallery, the Center for Pacific War Studies is dedicating all efforts to creating a new, exciting gallery for current and future generations to enjoy. To provide the greatest support for our museum and current artifact collection, our staff is implementing a hold on the intake of new artifact donations. This pause in adding new pieces to our collection enables the staff at the Center for Pacific War Studies to design the new George H. W, Bush Gallery exhibits while providing the necessary conservation care needed for pieces coming off display.
Our hold is expected to end in late 2025, aligning with our renovation timeline. At the end of the renovation, our staff will be able to process donation offers.
NMPW does not accept unsolicited donations by mail or walk-in. If you would like to donate to the museum’s collection, please fill out the form at the bottom of this page with as much detail as possible, and our staff will retain your offer for review after our renovation has ended. We are excited to talk with you further in the coming months!
Thank you very much for your patience during this time. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at archives@nimitzfoundation.org.
