About

The Musée D‑Day Omaha is an intimate, family‑run museum dedicated to the memory of the Normandy landings. Housed in the former American field hospital that once welcomed Allied soldiers, the museum showcases over 3,000 original World War II artifacts, from Enigma machines to ceremonial rifles, that have been collected, authenticated, and preserved by the Brissard family for more than five decades. Visitors can explore the exhibits while listening to the story told by the founders through interactive displays and multilingual audio guides. Beyond the permanent collection, the museum offers immersive experiences such as the D‑Day Night reenactment—an evening or full‑night event featuring live narration, VR imaging, and period‑accurate props—and the cutting‑edge VR film that transports guests to the beach and battlefield in 3‑D form. With a focus on education, historical accuracy, and accessible storytelling, the museum serves as a powerful reminder of courage, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of the D‑Day historic event.
