Whilst walking we decided to pop in to the D Day museum there is a lot more in here than you would expect at first glance of the place. A very interesting museum and well worth a visit.

Portsmouth is where DDay originated and this museum has captured it all. The immense tapestry depicting all the war scenes is truly a work of art.

If you're interested in D-Day, definitely visit this museum. The tapestry alone is worth the admission price. There are 34 large panels, all hand made by several women. This museum nicely complements the Normandy beaches because it tells the story of the preparations for the invasion and the command of it. I especially enjoyed seeing some of the actual items...

Great little museum, really told the story of how people lived and survived WW2, The tapestry recounting the story is amazing, definitely worth viewing.

The Tapestry was amazing. Just amazing. I've spent a few hours at this museum and really enjoyed all the exhibits. Great look at D-Day invasion. Really moving museum. Landing aircrafts from D-Day are on display, historical memorabilia, and a great documentary about the D-Day invasion. The museum is a great memorial to the people that lost their lives in WWII...

It honors those that sacraficed their lives and the dedication of those at home. Worth the visit when in Portsmouth.

the best museum I've ever visited. The D-Day tapestry produced by local talent and displayed in its own roundhouse is simply stunning but the story of the war in Portsmouth, its role in preparation for the Allied landing and the numerous dioramas describing life on the Home Front are effectively told. Visit on 6th June and entry is free

I was not interested in the tapestry, which you view before watching a short video at the start of the attraction. The video is not preceded by any warnings and does include images of dead soldiers on the beaches. Into the main body of the museum the displays are well laid out and informative. Lots of the models crafted by... More
