    A must see for any WW2 history buffs, fascinating insight into how the the war was won on this section and how the Germans defended and ultimately lost out to superior fire power and a better plan of action. Make the time to visit

    The whole of Utah Beach has been preserved by each Mayor since WWII and it is such a wonderful tribute to the town and the USA Troops who landed in their thousands. There is plenty of parking and all you see is the Museum which used to be part of a bunker, and around the imposing Statues markers showing distances and the names of the ships that were moored ready for the landing. The Museum is wonderful and full of interesting facts and such personal stories and it also gives you some insight into the French Resistance..such brave men and women and to the town that is making sure we never forget. Take a walk on the beach and imagine what it was like.

    Loaded with worthwhile exhibits. There is perhaps the best LCVP - (Landing Craft or Higgins Boat) example to be viewed in Normandy. Also, a section of beach defense installations. This is a must if you love military history.

    I've visited this museum three times in the past 18 months, and I like it more each time. Although it tells the overall story of the D-Day landings, its focus on the US forces in particular evokes a real sense of honor that the French chose to honor their American brethren this way.I particularly like the mock-up of the pilots' briefing room...one can almost feel the adrenaline that pumped through the young flyers before heading up on their sorties. And yes, the B-26 on display in the Dewhurst Pavilion is a newly-added bonus.Most of all, the staff at the Museum - namely Assistant Director Séverine Letourneur, Director Ingrid Anquetil, and of course the venerable Charles DeVallavieille, were the epitome of hospitality, and all of them went out of their way to make sure our group's visit was memorable, meaningful and enjoyable.Please show your support by visiting this compelling and evocative museum.

    This was the first beach we visited as it was down the road from our hotel. Standing on the bluff overlooking the beach can't help but picture the waves of men who faced down the machine gun fire. Take your time to walk the length of the beach and check out the small cantina. We did not go in the museum.

    This was the second beach that American forces landed on during the D-Day invasion. There is a really nice museum on site here and is well worth the time for you visit. There is a B26 Maurader here and a landing craft. You can walk out on the beach and I recommend that you do this. I think you need about an hour for your visit. Parking was free.

    This museum houses some very well preserved military artifacts and even airplanes. You really get a sense of the magnitude of the D-Day operation especially seeing the beach they had to climb.

    This Museum is somewhat deceptive. From the outside it appears very new and modern and indeed it is, yet inside you quickly realise that it was built to incorporate the remains of an intact German bunker. Also the Museum is far more extensive than it appears and houses some extremely interesting pieces and some wonderful audio-visual elements. Don't miss the cinema or Major Richard Winters' first hand account of the destruction of the 105s at Brecourt Manor. A visit is not complete without a coffee at the Roosevelt café where you can spend ages browsing the signatures of returning veterans on its walls or even more poignantly names of casualties placed there by their loved ones. Overall an unforgettable experience.

    I don't like Tom Brokaw but I do agree with him when he called the men and boys on these beaches as the "greatest generation." How different all of our live would be without their sacrifices. This is a very well done museum on a less than fully sophisticated scale but that is much of its charm and contribution. The museum contributes much to understanding the value of their efforts. The museum is an essential piece of the puzzle for us to understand how much we owe to these men and boys. You must see it to understand.

    Lots of great artifacts that help tell the story. The beach here is not as scenic, imo, as Omaha but the many monuments around the museum are very interesting to walk through. Great display. Arrive before mid afternoon as they close early and stop letting guests in 1/2 hour before close.

    The Utah Beach Museum was a great place to visit. and the exibits were really something to admire. They were informative ,and well set up to portray the events of the day. There were guides to tell the story and you couod choose your guide in either French or English. One exibit caught my eye and that was the B-26 Maruader on display. This aircraft looked as if it had just rolled off th factory floor. An amazing display. Tha gift shop was well stocked with items and a drinks machine near by took care of the odd thirst. Itvwas well worth the visit and the cost reasonable.

    This is a new museum and it is spacious and full of natural light which is most pleasant. We spent an interesting 2 hours here. We had seen plenty of other museums before - this one rates up there on the favorites list. We didn't try out the Roosefelt Restaurant, but took a picnic on the beach as the weather was good.

    As the museum was closed at the time of our visit, we just looked at the outside exhibits and surrounding area. Overall, I felt this area, with barbed-wire along the top of the dunes, the remains of blockhouses and gun emplacements and the various monuments gave a better feeling of how it actually looked 70 years ago than Omaha Beach. As a history buff, this felt authentic.

    We spent several hours here on a rainy day and really enjoyed our visit. We did not visit many D-Day museums, because we felt that once we had been here and studied every exhibit, we had covered what we wanted to cover. Great artifacts and the video interviews really set this one apart from the airborne museum in St. Mere Eglise which we had visited earlier that day. So glad we chose this museum. We did get drenched in a blowing sideways wind walking to the entrance. Even though there were few visitors that day, be advised that parking is at a distance from the door.

    Like the aircraft and beach viewing area. Open later than most. Ice cream shop closed before museum!
