World War I ended on Nov. 11, 1918, but the repercussions of the war that is called the \u201cWar to End All Wars,\u201d are still being felt today. A good way to understand the war is by a visit to the National WW I Museum and Memorial in Kansas City, MO.
\u00a0 Designed to be of interest to children, veterans and history buffs, the museum\u2019s collection of World War I objects and documents is the most comprehensive in the world and its exhibits feature interactive and immersive elements throughout, including the new experience, War Remains.<\/em>
\u00a0 War Remains<\/em> is an immersive virtual reality experience that transports viewers to the Western Front of the First World War. Through stunning visual effects, powerfully designed sound and a custom set, guests feel the trench and experience the vibration of the floor as explosions surround them.
\u00a0 In 2004 Congress designed the 80,000 square-foot building as the official WW I museum, and since then more than two million people have visited. One of the highlights is a French-made Renault FT-17 tank used by the Americans that has a gaping hole in its flank, the result of a hit from a German shell. Another are life-size trenches with ground-level views into six different trench scenes with actual objects in place, recorded statements from the writing of participants and relevant ambient sounds. It also has a walk-in crater that illustrates the devastating effects of a 17-inch howitzer shell struck a French farmhouse.
\u00a0 Not only is the museum fascinating, but the grounds are an experience in itself. With the 217-foot Liberty Tower \u2013 which is illuminated at night \u2013 overlooking its peaceful, park-like setting, the museum\u2019s campus provides a green and stunning location for picnics, evening strolls and memorable vacation photos.\u00a0\u00a0
