About D-Day Museum Omaha

The D-Day Omaha Museum sits 200 meters from Omaha Beach in Vierville-sur-Mer, housed in a building that served as an American field hospital immediately after the June 6, 1944 landings. Founded in 1999 by collector Michel Brissard, the museum displays over 50 years of accumulated WWII artifacts across 3,000 square meters. The collection includes an authentic LCVP Higgins landing craft, a Sherman M4A4 tank, a German Enigma cipher machine, and a rare 60-tonne armored turret from the Maginot Line.

Museum founder Michel Brissard discovered one of the world's rarest WWII artifacts at a flea market - a German Enigma cipher machine. He purchased it for just 50 francs, thinking it was 'some kind of typewriter.' The Enigma machines were used by Nazi Germany to encrypt military communications and were famously cracked by Alan Turing's team at Bletchley Park.
