The National Museum of the United States Army (NMUSA) is planned as the official museum for the history of the United States Army and is planned for construction just outside of Washington, DC. The objectives of the museum are to honor America’s soldiers, preserve army history, and educate the public about the army’s role in American history. Under a September 2000 agreement with the Department of the Army, the Army Historical Foundation (AHF)〔https://armyhistory.org/about-the-army-historical-foundation/ 〕 was designated the fundraising entity for the National Museum of the United States Army. The army also established the National Museum of the United States Army Project Office to oversee the design and construction of the museum. In September 2008, the army selected Skidmore, Owings & Merrill of New York as the design architect and Christopher Chadbourne & Associates of Boston as the exhibit design firm. In 2012, Eisterhold Associates, Inc., assumed the exhibit planning and Design and Production, Inc. began the exhibit fabrication. The U.S. Army will operate and maintain the museum when it opens and AHF will be responsible for all revenue-generating operations.. The National Army Museum will be located on 40 acres at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, 20 miles south of Washington, D.C. The main building will be approximately 175,000 square feet and display selections from 15,000 pieces from the Army Art Collection and 30,000 artifacts, documents, and images. Outside this facility will be a park with a memorial garden and parade ground. Space is being planned to accommodate ceremonies, reenactments, lectures, educational programs, conferences and reunions. The museum is expected to receive an estimated 750,000 visitors yearly. ==Objectives== The National Museum of the United States Army describes its objectives as: * ''Educate and engage'' current and future generations about the Army and its contributions * ''Preserve'' the Army’s history and its prominent role in the nation’s past, present, and future * ''Honor'' Army values, such as patriotism, respect, loyalty, and integrity, while providing an understanding of what it means to serve * ''Pay tribute'' to fourteen generations of American soldiers whose leadership, selfless service, and personal sacrifice have forged and safeguarded our nation * ''Inspire'' soldiers of today by connecting their experience to the legacy and leadership of a great nation * ''Stimulate'' the youth of America to pursue scholastic excellence in any field of study that supports the Army’s core missions.〔(Why Build the Museum (continued) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Museum of the United States Army」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
