Inside the main building, the first thing you will see is MacArthur's final resting spot in the rotunda. There are nine galleries on two floors that take MacArthur's life from boyhood to his glory years as General of the Army. One favorite display includes his desk, uniform, medals and signature corncob pipe. Out front of the memorial is a bronze statue of the general that is a popular photo spot. Hours are 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday and 11 AM to 5 PM on Sunday.
Admission is free.
With its location adjacent to Town Point Park and near The Waterside Festival Marketplace, Nauticus helps make the Norfolk waterfront as lively as Baltimore's Inner Harbor. Plan to spend about four hours in Nauticus. Paid parking is available in city garages across Waterside Drive. Once you've ditched the car, follow the wooden gangplank to the Nauticus entrance. Look up to see the A-4 Navy jet parked on the roof and painted like a Blue Angels flying machine.
