Mission

The National Veterans Art Museum inspires greater understanding of the real impact of war with a focus on Vietnam. The museum collects, preserves and exhibits art inspired by combat and created by veterans.

The National Veterans Art Museum is dedicated to the collection, preservation and exhibition of art inspired by combat and created by veterans.

Since its inception in 1981, the NVAM has been a space for military personnel, veterans, and civilians to open a dialogue over the real impact of war. All artwork is created by veterans and, on some level, serves as therapeutic for them and the communities they exist within.

The truly unique museum features work by combat veterans from all conflicts. The National Veterans Art Museum also has many educational opportunities to help you access, explore and connect with our one-of-a-kind collection.

Originally Incorporated in 1982 as the Vietnam Veterans Art Group, NVAM is proud to be recognized by the IRS as a 501(c)(3) organization.
