The museum is located on the spot where the American army landed on Omaha Beach (also called "Bloody Omaha") on June 6, 1944. The museum is 1200 m² in size and contains a beautiful collection of uniforms, weapons, personal objects and vehicles. With the dioramas, archival photos, maps and thematic subjects you dive into the heart of the D-Day story.

This beautiful museum was expanded on the occasion of the sixtieth anniversary of the invasion. It provides a chronological overview from the German occupation to the American landing in the area. Reconstructions* with uniformed puppets, weapons, posters, thematic panels and newspaper articles portray this dramatic episode. The visit ends with a film screening.
