Arromanches D-Day Museum

Near Omaha Beach, the landing beaches of Arromanches were successfully captured by the British. The British 50th Northumberland Division destroyed German bunkers and installed an immense artificial harbor, the Mulberry Harbor. The museum lies near the shore, close to the spot where one of the harbors was constructed. It offers guided tours with working models that demonstrate how the artificial port operated. Visitors can also watch a documentary film featuring exceptional World War II archival footage. It’s possible to see remnants of the harbors in the area, which now boasts a busy public square with many cafés and shops.
