We visited this site on our tour of Normandy. Lots of interesting information and displays...we really enjoyed it and recommend it to others to see.

I think the museum is great, and well worth the admission charge. The museum is pretty thorough. I like to take a long time to read and examine everything; if this is you, then you probably want to give yourself most of a day to see both the WWII and Cold War sections, plus whatever current exhibition is there.

The non-discount entrance fee of 19 Euros is a bit daunting, but the museum offers a succinct history of Europe leading up to WWII through its consequences ending in the Cold War. We had planned to spend an hour here, waiting for the rain to stop, but became so involved in the exhibits that four hours flew by--and we had... More

The ground floor starts with the end of the First World War and a descending path with walls getting rougher tells the story of the rise of nazism. The lower ground floor then tells of the horrors of war and life in France. A separate section tells the story of D-Day which took place a few miles from the museum.... More

Take at least half a day on it as the contents are quite rich. I just though the audio guides are not... More

The Cold War part as a tendency to present every side as bad as the other. And then you have the temporary exhibit. My French friend said... More

We spent most of a day in this museum - it was a great learning experience. I disagree with the reviewer who thinks it is too expensive. The comprehensive films, photos, maps, displays and discussion of planning strategy for the D-Day invasion were beautifully done and most enlightening. As we toured the invasion sites in the following two days, over... More

This is a very interesting museum and we could have spent the entire day there. Unfortunately, the entrance tickets are pretty pricey for the time spent there.

This is a wonderful place to go and visit, it is well presented and interesting. I learned alot about the events during the war here and also a cold insight in to the differences between East & West in the cold war exhibit. Take a good large picnic and eat outside in the gardens, go with friends and make a... More
