The
National
World
War
1
museum
and
memorial
is
the
only
museum
in
the
country
that
is
dedicated
to
the
preservation
of
objects,
personal
experiences
and
the
history
of
the
first
global
war,
since
it
opened
its
doors
in
2006.
The
museum's
exhibitions
and
programs
have
attracted
over
two
million
visitors
to
the
museum
here
to
talk
to
us
about
some
of
the
activity
that
has
drawn
so
many
people
to
the
museum
and
to
Kansas
City
is
president
and
CEO

Thank
you
for
for
having
us
here.
We're.
A
B
Right,
there's
more
than
35,000
museums
in
the
United
States
and
we're
really
proud
that
for
the
30
year,
running
tripadvisor
raided
us
in
the
top
25
and
and
really
this
is
driven
by
folks
who
visit
to
the
museum,
where
the
number
one
visitor
attraction
on
tripadvisor
for
Kansas
City.
But
it
speaks
to
the
vision
of
the
of
the
people
of
Kansas
City
when
they
first
imagined
this
place
when
it
was
built
in
the
early
1920s.
B
A
B
Work
is
to
interpret,
understand
and
remember
the
Great
War
and
its
enduring
impact,
and
we
have
a
particular
responsibility
during
this
global
commemorative
period
and
nineteen
seventeen
to
twenty
seventeen,
as
they
were
beginning
of
the
100
Year
commemoration
of
the
US
entry
into
World
War
one.
So
our
exhibits
around
this
time
really
focus
on
what
happened
100
years
ago.
The
enduring
impact
of
that
I
think.
A
The
museum
is
known
for
such
dynamic
partnerships
that
you
have,
with
collaborations,
that
you
probably
wouldn't
automatically
associate
with
World
War
one
and
the
truce
tournament
is
an
example
of
that.
Can
you
talk
a
little
bit
about
truce
tournament
and
when
it
happens,
and
it
is
supported
by
the
neighborhood
Tourist
Development
Fund
in.
B
1914
had
said
that
around
Christmas
time
there
was
a
truce
that
broke
out
for
about
24
hours
in
a
number
of
areas
across
the
Western
Front,
and
what
happened
was
that
in
amongst
all
this
terrible
fighting
and
bombardment,
there
was
a
moment
where
the
troops
just
a
couple
of
hundred
feet
from
one
another,
began
to
sing
Christmas
carols.
They
began
to
share
things
with
one
another.
B
We
partner
with
Kansas
Sporting
Kansas
City,
and
we
have
the
truce
tournament
on
Boxing,
Day
or
December
26,
and
it's
a
wonderful
day
we're
on
the
South
Lawn.
Here
we
have
our
30
soccer
teams
playing
soccer
on
the
inside.
We
have
beer
and
eggs
the
it's
a
big
day
for
the
European
soccer
matches,
and
so
we
have
TV
set
up
and
those
are
broadcast
live
here
in
the
in
the
museum,
and
it
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
be
able
to
talk
about
something
that
happened.
This
extraordinary
Christmas
truce
of
1914
to
audiences.
B
That
would
otherwise
not
think
about
World
War
one
and,
of
course,
then
talk
about
the
implications
for
today,
and
so
we're
grateful
for
the
support
of
the
neighborhood
Tourism
Development
Fund,
which
which
really
supports
that
and
other
programs
that
we
have
which
are
are.
You
know,
bringing
very
many
varied
audiences
and
another
I
think
fantastic
collaboration
that
we
have
is
operation
warfare,
which
is
a
food
cook-off,
and
so
some
of
the
local
restaurants
in
we.
B
A
B
Very
best
place
to
go
is
to
our
website
the
world
Borg,
and
we
have
lots
of
all
of
our
programming
and
exhibition
schedules
are
listed
there.
We
have
a
real,
diverse
array
of
programming,
so
you
want
to
check
there
regularly
and
the
second
best
thing
to
do
is
to
sign
up
for
our
newsletter
and
each
month,
just
once
a
month
get
a
newsletter
that
lists
the
upcoming
programming
and
because
we
have
such
variety
for
all
sorts
of
different
age
groups
and
interests.
