Lot of well done displays in this free attraction. The history of West Point and the American Army is well presented. Unless you are very interested in the military, you will find the place a little "dry". There are no interactive displays, but loads of military uniforms and weapons. All in all worth a visit.

A well presented history of West Point and interesting artifacts -- don't miss the replica of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima -- along with Einsein's letter to the President on his concerns with using the bomb.

West point is magnificent in both history and setting. Have been to military museums all over the world, and, although relatively small, this was one of the best.
