​​The Landing Museum (D-Day Museum) at Arromanches was the first museum built to present the events from 6 June 1944 onward in Normandy. Funded by the sale of the wrecks littering the surrounding coastal area, the museum was inaugurated on 5 June 1954. The museum was reopened in 2023 following a full refurbishment and update.&nbsp;​​The museum is located right in front of the former artificial port and explains how the facility was constructed and used. A large cinema explains the Allied landings and the importance of the construction of the Mulberry Harbour, enhancing visitors’ knowledge and understanding.&nbsp;​​The upper floor has an excellent collection of uniforms and equipment. This is supplemented by the models which detail the sections of the Mulberry Harbour and how it worked.&nbsp;​On the upper floor is a larger map table of the coastline and the town of Arromanches. A digital display and story take place on this map, projected from above, explaining the period from D-Day to final completion of the Mulberry Harbour.&nbsp;​​&nbsp;
