About us
The Intrepid Museum, a private non-profit, holds a special place in New York City’s cultural landscape. Founded in 1982 with the acquisition of the storied WWII aircraft carrier Intrepid—a National Historic Landmark and the centerpiece of its collection—the Museum welcomes over one million visitors annually from all around the world. Its mission is to promote the awareness and understanding of history, science and service through bold and immersive collections, exhibitions and programming in order to honor our heroes, educate the public and inspire future generations. The Intrepid Museum’s dynamic exhibitions exemplify the intersection of history and innovation. Immersive fun, STEM and history are showcased through technological marvels such as Enterprise, the world’s first space shuttle, and Growler, the only nuclear-weapons-carrying submarine open to the public. The Museum’s one-of-a-kind experience also features dozens of military aircraft including fighter jets, a supersonic spy plane, and the Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial airliner, displayed in and around the legendary aircraft carrier, Intrepid, an awe-inspiring setting for an unforgettable adventure. But the true power of the Intrepid Museum extends beyond the mechanical marvels on display to all those whose stories of sacrifice, service and heroism bring history to life. Guided by its core values of integrity, innovation, and inclusivity, the Intrepid Museum’s exhibits and programs are designed to provide a meaningful visitor experience for all. The Museum delivers nationally-recognized accessible programming to its audience with an emphasis on underserved communities, individuals with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities, including autism and dementia, and our veterans. Through its after-school, professional development, and STEM programs, the Museum educates and impacts more than 55,000 students each year.

Intrepid and its air group were at the center of the largest naval battle in modern history. It involved nearly 200,000 men aboard 282 ships spanning 100,000 square miles of ocean. This clash was known as the Battle of Leyte Gulf (October 23–26, 1944). On Thursday, October 24, Intrepid Museum’s Manager of Development Content and author of the forthcoming book, Intrepid's Fighting Squadron 18, Mike Fink will share experiences of the ship’s aviators and aircrew as well as rarely-seen archival photos.

The legendary World War II FG-1D Corsair arrived at the Museum last night around 10pm from Washington D.C. Known for its pivotal role in the Pacific theater, this iconic aircraft will undergo restoration by the Museum’s in-house specialists in its Aircraft Restoration Hangar. With only a few remaining intact, the historic aircraft is scheduled to be unveiled to the public in March 2025, in Intrepid’s hangar deck.
