Awesome place for anyone into WW2 history. There's so much to take in — exhibits, stories, and artifacts that really bring the past to life. It's well laid out and super informative without feeling overwhelming. Just make sure to go early if you can — it gets crowded fast with tourists and school groups, and it’s way nicer to explore when it’s quieter. If you like military history, this is a fabulous museum. It focuses on the landings in Normandy and stops at Falaise pocket. The uk occupied Bayeux so there is a strong Uk element to the story. The story and pictures are moving. The hardware interesting. The signs are detailed and you should allow 2 hrs if you like to read and study the info. The shop on exit is good. Excellent focussing not on D-Day but on the campaign that followed until the crossing of the Seine and the liberation of Paris. Includes brief summaries of the major engagements, stories of those who thought and lived through the conflict (or didn't) and of course a good collection of arms and armour. Recommend getting a combined ticket with the Tapestry museum. Wow, this place is amazing and haunting at the same time, unbelievable what these men did for our country. The place was immaculately looked after, so pristine. There is so much love from the French to the British all around this area. Makes me proud. Very interesting and comprehensive over view of the campaign. Some great exciting exhibits of uniform and equipment too. Very informative with loads of interesting displays just allow enough time to get round all the displays. The CWWG Commission Cemetery is very close by and within walking distance. Plenty of parking on site. This is a really nice here in the city of Bayeux, France. It's out of the way so it's not real crowded. Lots to see and learn about. Another great day visiting. Small but superb museum. Far away from the crowds with many interesting items both from germans and the allies. You can see rifles, pistols, uniforms, military viechles, bombs and watch a movie about WW2 in a movie vie hall. The most interesting thing for me was the small diorama that was built there. So if you are visiting Bayeux this is a must see. Very well-organized with detailed exhibits and original World War II artifacts. It clearly explains the context of D-Day and the Battle of Normandy. An emotional and must-see visit if you're in the area. Brilliant with lots of artefacts and a very good cinema film explaining the Normandy landings. Top tip - if you get a joint ticket for the Bayeux Tapestry and/or other in town, you can use the Group entrance at the Tapestry and cut a massive queue! A wonderful experience. It helped me get a better overall picture of the Normandy Landings. I was sad to learn that Rex Whistler was killed there. On July 23, 2025, my parents and I went to that museum. It's a great place, and the employees are very nice people. My parents and I wanted to go to Omaha Beach, and one of the employees named Matthew was very helpful. He gave us information and called taxis for us. Matthew is a great employee.
