Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy

The Memorial Museum of the Battle of Normandy in Bayeux offers a detailed and moving account of the 100-day campaign that followed the D-Day landings. Housed in a modern building near the Bayeux War Cemetery, the museum uses a vast collection of artifacts, vehicles, uniforms, weapons, and personal stories to illustrate the experiences of soldiers and civilians. The exhibits are arranged chronologically, starting with the preparations for D-Day and continuing through the battles for Caen, Saint-Lô, and the Falaise Pocket, ending with the liberation of Paris. A highlight is the large diorama with life-sized figures and equipment. The museum also features a memorial garden and a film screening.
