You need a whole day and maybe more to see and do everything here. Our visit was extremely educational and overwhelming. The are many exhibits and movies. A good library and cafeteria.

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.
