Omaha Beach Museum

Used by the American troops during the D-Day landings of 1944, Omaha beach is located 6km west of the town of Arromanches. The beach museum is situated about 100 metres from the shore in the small village of St-Laurant and has a great collection of photographs taken from the D-Day landings themselves.

Musée de Débarquement - Arromanches

The D-day Landing Museum stands opposite the remains of the extraordinary artificial port. "The permanent Landing exhibition" displayed here was created in 1953. Its exhibits include personal belongings, relief maps and working models. Designed by the architect Mr François Carpentier, the museum was actually built on the site of the artificial harbour and its remains can still be seen, a few hundred yards away from the shoreline.
