Dunkirk Museum 1940 Dynamo Operation, Military history museum in Bastion 32, Dunkirk, France

The museum presents a collection of artifacts, photographs, maps, and military equipment recovered from Dunkirk's beaches, dunes, and surrounding waters during World War II.

Established in Bastion 32, a coastal fortification from 1874, the museum chronicles Operation Dynamo, which facilitated the evacuation of 330,000 Allied soldiers in 1940.

Through educational programs, commemorative events, and temporary exhibitions, the museum maintains the legacy of military and civilian actions during the Battle of Dunkirk.

The museum welcomes visitors daily from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, offering guided tours, educational materials, and accommodations for individuals with mobility requirements.

Located in the original command post of Admiral Abrial during Operation Dynamo, the museum features an authentic German casemate 515 in the adjacent Modern Art Museum park.
