Musée Memorial de la Bataille de Normandie

This museum deals with the military and human history of the Battle of Normandy (June 6-Aug 22, 1944). In a low-slung building designed like a bunker are 132m (433 ft.) of window and film displays, plus a diorama. Wax soldiers in uniform, along with the tanks and guns used to win the battle, are on exhibit. Across from the museum, the Commonwealth Cemetery (tel. 03-21-21-77-00) lies on the northwestern perimeter of Bayeux, containing 4,144 graves of soldiers from throughout the British Commonwealth, all of them killed during the Battle of Normandy.
