- This is a small museum that has enough stuff inside to fill a big exposition about the Omaha Beach landings !
It is located atop of the bluff of one of the 4 original exits of Omaha Beach. Outside is (amongst other relics) a cast-iron pillbox top with severe shell damage, a landing craft (troops) and some artillery. Worth your bucks, a small museum but with some great items like an enigma coding machine, mannequins, pictures,maps and lots of personal items. - By: Donald van den Bogert
