After visiting the Caen Memorial, we visited the Utah Beach D-Day museum. We are very glad we made the effort to get there. Along the route, we also visited St. Mere Eglise, the Major Dick Winters sculpture, St. Marie du Mont and several other sites. We were short on time but could have easily spent a couple of days in...

April 5 read about Jenny McCutcheon's visit to Utah Beach at venturegalleries.com This destination will be rewarding for Normandy Invasion history buffs. Beware the museum at Utah Beach is closed the months of December and January.

Utah beach complex is worth visiting. There is a big field to park in. You can see the outdoor memorial & bunkers, spend time on the accessible sandy beach, eat at the restaurant (there is a recreated WWII bar inside and the building is partly bunkers) and go to the modern museum. Since it cost 7.50 euros for adults and...

The museum was very nice and well worth the time to visit and learn about what happened on Utah beach. The museum has many artifacts and equipment. Once you have completed your...

Note: Museum is closed for all of December and January. We therefore couldn't actually visit the museum.

As you then make your way to the front of the museum towards...

Have visited before some years ago, but this was the first time we'd been to see the new addition. Found it to be good value for money and very interesting. Good place to visit

I thought I knew about the Normandy Landings until we came to this museum. So much information given in such a way that it would be impossible for even the most cynical to be bored! Beautifully written accounts of each hour of the day and the sequence I which it all happened. Gives an account of personnel involved , how...
