musee+du+debarquement

Musee du debarquement is the main museum of the D- day invasions. It was built to represent how the fights went down on that day.

On the advice of Raymond Triboulet from France, the permanent exhibition on the Normandy Landings was officially opened on June 5th 1954 in Arromanches by Monsieur René COTY, the then President of the French Republic. It was the first museum to be built in commemoration of June 6th 1944 and the Normandy Campaign. The D-day Museum overlooks the very spot where one of the Mulberry Harbours was constructed and where its remains can still be seen today, just a few hundred meters from the shore. The museum is divided into five different sections: a gallery of working models overlooking the historic site with guided tours, [|a diorama], [|hall of the Allied Nations] with museum collections, [|a film] featuring archive footage, and [|shops]. In the gallery of working models, it overlooks the remnants of Mulberry B. The guides tell the story of this artificial port, from its design and construction to its subsequent use. In the diorama. the early hours of D Day are brought to life with special light and sound effects. It can be heard in 6 languages: Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Spanish. In the Hall of Allied Nations, you can find out about all the different nationalities that took part in the Landings on June 6th 1944 along with collections from each. The cinema shows archive footage. It is a film produced by the British Admiralty and it shows the design,transport, construction and operation of Mulberry Harbour B. It can be shown in 9 languages: Chinese, Czech, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Spanish. And of course there is a museum shop for souvenirs such as books and maps. This will help us on our trip by helping us visualize what went down on d-day like who was there who lived who died and what artillery they used on those battles.
