Overlord Museum Omaha Beach

There’s been a lot of buzz about the Overlord Museum since it opened in 2013 as it is home to over 10,000 WWII artifacts, including 35 vehicles, tanks and cannons. As old-time jazz plays softly in the background, visitors stroll past mannequins exhibiting the gear used during the war. Overlord lacks the technological bells and whistles that some might expect from a modern museum, but the draw here is absorbing detailed information about the day-to-day life during the war and the sheer size and breadth of the collection.
