October at the Museum
This October, we honor the sacrifices of our nation’s service members and are inspired by their courage and commitment to a cause greater than oneself.

Matthew Modine’s Full Metal Jacket Diary
“Full Metal Jacket Diary,” is a photographic exhibition of images captured by actor Matthew Modine during the filming of the 1987 Vietnam War film classic “Full Metal Jacket.” The photos will be on display at the National Veterans Memorial and Museum beginning in mid-October through the end of the year.
This temporary exhibition is a glimpse into the making of a war film that is often said to transcend time while also giving the viewer an inside look at the brilliance of the film’s director, Stanley Kubrick.
