Since next Tuesday marks the 80th Anniversary of the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, many will be attending the commemoration at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Along with tours of the battleship USS Arizona Memorial, the battleship USS Missouri and the submarine USS Bowfin, there is a visitor center operated by the National Park Service that has a theater that shows a film on the attack and a bookstore . When I visited it in 2016, I bought several books on the attack. 

The visitor center has displays on the attack including actual artifacts from it.

Here's some photos of what visitors can expect to see inside the Visitor Center:
