The Museum has displays on ancient history up to the arrival of the Vikings as well as on the local industries and cultural customs. It provided a good introduction to the region but at times the information got very technical and a bit boring, especially the sections about land management and farming. I would have liked a bit more of the post-Viking history and more about the local folk traditions.
For anyone who loves American or WWII history it is a must do. To actually see where D-Day happened was such a surreal experience and I actually met some WWII veterans while there. I love WWII history so this was my favorite place in all of France and I always recommend it to friends and family who go to France.
From prehistoric times to the 20th century an interesting show of local life, from the first hominid cultures through the Galls and the Vikings to the Normans. Good video shows make the exhibition more interesting. Best parts show local agriculture, artisans and habitats.
If you have had a relative involved in the D-Day invasion, then this is a must stop location. The U.S. Involvement in he liberation of France is still very important to the people of France, and their appreciation is felt from the moment you enter until the moment you leave.
Architecture and style give what should be the right impression of memorial and remembrance. Shy on information though, was expecting more.
My high school kids were very respectful and somber when we visited Normany. We had been celebrating Paris and the food. When we drove here, their moods changed. I have never seen such an interest in history. The museum offered a glimpse into the life of a World War II soldier. We also had to purchase "clickers" for their friends and teachers back at home.
