The National WWII Museum isn't just about archives and photos; it's a campus of massive engineering feats. Among its six soaring pavilions, the museum features the Final Mission: USS Tang Submarine Experience. Bringing the scale and intensity of a submarine into the heart of the Central Business District required a sophisticated blend of architecture and immersive technology.
