Built on the very spot where American troops landed on 6 June 1944, the museum tells the story of D-Day in ten sequences, from its preparation to its successful conclusion.
A unique
Site
Utah Beach was the first beach to be stormed by the Allies on the morning of 6 June 1944. It was chosen to establish a beachhead in the Cotentin region in order to capture the town of Cherbourg and its deep water port.
At the end of the day, more than 23,000 American soldiers landed to fight a titanic battle and liberate France. The Utah Beach D-Day Museum preserves the memory of these men.

Built on a former German bunker. A must see if you are in Normandy!Publié sur emuslushyvérifié Moving museum I found my visit to this museum to be memorable and moving. Located so close to Utah Beach, that one of the exhibits was a glass panel looking at a gun placement that had been covered by the sand for a number of years, before being uncovered (I think by the building of the museum). Incorporating this into the museum shows the level of respect held. There were many exhibitis, with lots of information, so you really do have to take your time if you want to read it all. But it is worth it. As an aviation enthusiast, it was very interesting to see the Marauder and the level of preservation in this was great to see. The entry cost was very reasonable. One point of note, there is no air con, so it did get really quite hot, but well worth it. Make sure you visit the statues and memorials outside on the beach and near it afterwards.Publié sur geovérifié Magnifique Magnifique musée,nous y sommes restés plus de 2h,une collection d objets impressionnante.Le musée est tres bien expliqué et l emplacement sur l ancien bunker est authentique.Nous étions sur Houlgate,mais n avons pas regretté d avoir fait un peu de route pour le voir.Publié sur Linda Mvérifié An Amazing Museum and Historical Site The Museum with its location on Utah Beach was such a great combination of a way to learn more about history as well as a way to honor those that served and sacrificed for our freedom!! The location added to the intensity of the experience - the artifacts, movie, pictures and stories of the planning and execution of this portion of D-Day was so well done - thank you to the town and French country that made this Museum possible and their work to preserve our history and honor the memory of all those served ❤️❤️❤️Publié sur Julie Hvérifié Very impressive and informative Incredible displays. Know there are lots of museums along the beaches, but this was our first beach and wanted to learn more before we continued to the other beaches. So much to see & learn. Very well-done.Charger plus
