"A requiem piece." That's how Victoria Bryers describes her artwork "And the Towers Fell." Bryers lived looking at the Towers for a number of years and worked near them, and 9/11 was especially emotional for her.

As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 draws near, we are remembering.

Bryers is a Veteran who served with the U.S. Coast Guard and the Coast Guard Reserves for a total of 30 years. "And the Towers Fell" is in the Collection of National Veterans Art Museum. All rights reserved.

We have REOPENED on a reduced schedule. Come see our collection, including "The Things They Carried," inspired by the classic Vietnam War book by Tim O'Brien.

This permanent exhibition is a favorite with museum goers of all ages and experiences because it allows visitors to pick up, examine, and try on the gear and equipment on display. Accompanied by paintings and photos created by Veteran artists, "The Things They Carried" is an engaging and informative way to contemplate the experiences of those who served.

Veterans as well as civilians find the experience meaningful. Here, a Vietnam Vet revisits his service and shows us a portrait of himself in uniform during his service in the war.

Stop by and see works from our permanent collection, including masterful silkscreen prints created by famed Veteran author and artist Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. (U.S. Army, served in World War II).

We must protect and maintain Veteran artworks in our permanent collection so they can last for posterity. Each one has artistic, historical and contextual significance.

This Work on Paper showed staining and cockling when it came into our collection and needed preservation work. Some of the tools used included a bone file, hake brush, razor blade, and eraser bag.

We are coming to end of our "Give to Preserve" campaign and need your support. Please join us in preserving our world-class artworks by donating today: https://bit.ly/Give2Preserve

When you walk into our first gallery, your eyes will be caught by colorful masks. NVAM’s partner exhibit "We Are Resilience: Masks of Hope," features the artwork of military children in our arts education program with Kids Rank

Inspired by an art therapy technique with veterans, 100 masks were created by children of active duty and veteran service members to express their experience as a military child. The program was documented by Zachary Keltner and published as an exhibition catalog. Thank you, The Allstate Foundation for making the catalog possible!

Visit NVAM to explore the exhibit during our public hours on Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays from 10am -5pm. Exhibition catalogs are available for purchase in our gift shop and are $25.00.

Stop by to see works in our permanent collection such as "Heroes" by Ulysses Marshall (U.S. Army, served in Vietnam). He said, "After I got home and began to paint, I wrote about the war as I had experienced it through the eyes of a nineteen-year-old black man."

This is one of Megan's favorite paintings at the museum. She tells us that it’s one she returns to often “…because of the artist’s unique use of perspective and its subtle nod to Cubism.” She pointed out several details, including the paper collage elements used to create lifelike eyes and the artist’s signature, which is vertical rather than horizontal; something that Megan says is evidence of his experimentation in the use of perspective.
