Would the legendary prehistoric reptile known as Godzilla have emerged without World War II? Museum Assistant Curator Brandon Daake explores the origins of Godzilla in the wake of the atomic bombings and reconstruction of Japan.

Dinner with a Curator is an evening of dinner and history hosted by The American Sector Restaurant & Bar culinary team and The National WWII Museum professionals. Guests participate in discussion on a featured topic related to World War II, which is interpreted through the Museum's collection and a theme-inspired four-course dinner paired with beverage specials.
