5. Overlord Museum
In June 2013, Michel Leloup, a first-hand witness of the Battle of Normandy with the help of other veterans finally managed to find a place to build a museum that would display the used wrecks from the Battle of Normandy and surplus equipment of the Allied armies he had been collecting for 40 years. The unique exhibition included over 10,000 items, 35 tanks, guns and artillery pieces dating from the Battle of Normandy, some of which are still in an operating state. The museum was inaugurated by the civil and military authorities.
The museum is located in the heart of the D-Day Landing beaches, opposite the Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial. Overlord Museum covers the period of the Allied landing until the liberation of Paris. Considering its diversity and quality, the museum is a unique place to visit for an emotional journey through time. The museum has also set up interactive tools, video terminals, computer graphics and audio guide tours to attract all generations and to allow visitors to determine their own itineraries.
