Omaha Beach Memorial Museum
Normandy Landing and Battle Museums
Just a few meters from Omaha Beach, the scene of fierce fighting between American soldiers on June 6, 1944, the Omaha Beach Memorial Museum houses an impressive collection of combat relics and period equipment, as well as rare iconographic documents that provide a better understanding of historical events minute by minute.
Among the relics, beach obstacles and landing craft found after the fighting are on display, and displays allow visitors to identify the equipment carried by American and German soldiers, both during the fighting at Omaha Beach and during the assault on Pointe du Hoc. Noteworthy in the museum parking lot is the presence of an amphibious Sherman tank that participated in the D-Day assault, as well as an American 155mm Long Tom gun.
