D-Day Museum, World War II museum in Arromanches-les-Bains, France.

The museum presents exhibits about D-Day landings, including military equipment, photographs, documents, and multimedia presentations detailing the Normandy invasion operations.

The museum opened its doors in 1954 with President René Coty inaugurating the first institution specifically built to commemorate the D-Day landings.

The institution maintains collaborations with schools and educational organizations to teach younger generations about the significance of World War II events.

Located on the esplanade facing the artificial harbor, the museum provides viewing areas through large windows to observe the remaining structures.

Visitors can examine Commander Philippe Kieffer's battledress jacket and explore exhibits about Operation PLUTO, which established underwater fuel pipelines.
