The museum is free of charge and brand new. It was opened November 13th, 2006. This was my second visit. The museum is basically a tribute to all Marines past, present and future. It is parted in 7 sections plus an art gallery, which houses photography of soldiers also. The seven sections include the Korean and Vietnam war, World War II and a walk through on how to become a Marine from getting the first haircut to going into action. Very interesting to see. Plus many displays of helicopters, planes, historic events and so on. Most memorable is the section on Iwo Jima to me.  The original flag that was raised there is displayed in the museum. There is also a complete time line on the history of the marine corps where the individual seven section part off of. 
 There are a few TV sections where you can get even more information on certain events if the posters on the walls are not enough.
There is a gift shop on the premises and volunteers are ready to answer any questions you might have. 
 I recommend this place for a rainy day when you feel like learning something about your country's heroes.</p>
