Normandy Victory Museum

On the outskirts of Carentan, between Omaha Beach and Utah Beach, the Normandy Victory Museum invites you on a moving journey through history and the daily lives of soldiers and civilians during the Battle of the Hedges.

Take a tour of the 2,000m² exhibition space, wander through some 30 hyper-realistic, sound-enhanced scenes, and discover over 15,000 authentic objects that have lived through history.
Your journey takes you from the Occupation to the Liberation, with a special focus on the Battle of the Hedges in the Manche region.

The tour tells the story through a variety of media, making it accessible to all: scenes and their descriptions, vehicles, showcases, archive films, tour application, objects to handle, opportunities to ride in a Jeep…

Permanent theme exhibition: “The role of women in war” and temporary exhibitions.

Additional immersive activities: The secret of the 3 bunkers (escape game).

The Normandy Victory Museum is also :
– 2 major annual events: D-Day ceremonies in June and the COBRA 44 Commemorative Festival in July,
– a vintage militaria store with D-Day-related tourist items, as well as a large bookshop and militaria clothing for re-enactors,
– a partner restaurant on the museum grounds: the A10 Canteen,
– dodge tours departing from the museum with WW2 Veterans’ Memories.

For groups:
– standard or customized tourist packages for professionals (tourism, teambuilding, seminars, etc.),
– rental of a fully-equipped conference room for up to 120 people.

Last but not least, the Normandy Victory Museum, whose values of transmitting memory are essential, attaches particular importance to welcoming schoolchildren.
