This fall, see the National WWI Museum and Memorial in a way you never have before. Created in celebration of the Museum and Memorial’s 100th anniversary and the nation’s 250th, Liberty’s Beacon transforms the Memorial into a canvas of light, sound and motion. Over seven weekends, three acclaimed artists each bring the Memorial’s inscribed virtues – Honor, Courage, Sacrifice and Patriotism – to life.

Liberty’s Beacon debuts publicly on Friday, Sept. 25 – Sunday, Sept. 27, and continues for the following six weekends. The final weekend concludes with an extended run through Veterans Day, Wednesday, Nov. 11. Return throughout the season to view all three installations. Each artist offers something new to see – and a new reason to be moved and inspired.

For the best viewing and listening experience, the public is invited to gather on the North Lawn. Bring a picnic or a blanket and visit at your convenience. Each installation is between eight and 10 minutes long. The show starts at 7:30 p.m. and repeats every 15 minutes (:00, :15, :30 and :45) until the last showing begins at 10:30 p.m.
