A nondescript placard on a wall near a fire hydrant inside the National World War II Museum recognizes the father of renown filmmaker Steven Spielberg. This original wing inside the museum, dating to its opening day on June 6, 2000, honors his father, Arnold Spielberg, a veteran of World War II. This section of the museum closed this week to undergo a major renovation starting on Tuesday, February 24, 2026. (Photo by Chris Granger, The Times-Picayune)
