The National WWII Museum's Road to Victory master plan expanded the New Orleans museum from a single D-Day pavilion into a seven-pavilion, seven-acre campus in phases from 2009 through the 2023 opening of the capstone Liberation Pavilion, with campus architecture by Voorsanger Architects and Mathes Brierre Architects and exhibit design across multiple pavilions by Gallagher & Associates.

Description
Gallagher & Associates describes itself as "responsible for identifying the most appropriate specialty consultants and procuring their services" across the museum's expansion; the fabrication and media credits above are drawn from G&A's own project page and are not all attributable to a single pavilion or year within the multi-phase master plan. This record covers G&A's exhibit-design engagement across the master plan generally, distinct from the separately-recorded "Voices from the Front" installation (2024), which G&A was not involved in.
