The museum has now been transformed, to provide an engaging insight into the lives of those who took part in D-Day, whether they were individuals on the shore in Portsmouth, or those who went over to Normandy.
The museum contains many exhibits not previously displayed to the public, in refurbished galleries that feature the words and perspectives of those involved – from both a military and a civilian viewpoint. There will also be spaces for learning, events and interactive displays.
