THE MARSHALL MUSEUM educates the public about the changing role of the United States during the 20th century in military and diplomatic affairs as seen through the life and example of George C. Marshall. The museum fulfills its mission by collecting, interpreting, exhibiting, and researching the ideals, values, and objects associated with Marshall and his contemporaries. 

The Marshall Museum opened in 1964 in conjunction with the Marshall Research Library, both housed in the George C. Marshall Foundation building.  Visitors can follow Marshall's career from a lieutenant to five-star General of the Army during World War II.  Find out how Marshall learned to be the leader that others followed willingly.  See how this one man influenced the outcome of World War II and the relief of war-torn Europe.  The Marshall Museum features the Nobel Peace Prize awarded to Marshall in 1953, a 1943 Jeep, an interactive WWII map, and Soldier and Statesman, a video of his life.
