Step into the trenches of World War I and experience life at the front in Moffett Field Museum’s most immersive exhibit yet. Walk in the footsteps of a First World War soldier and discover how the Great War reshaped the modern world through unprecedented industrial warfare, global alliances, and rapid technological change.
