About Overlord Museum

The Overlord Museum opened in 2013, located 500 meters from the Normandy American Cemetery and Omaha Beach. The museum houses the private collection of Michel Leloup, a Norman forestry operator who spent 40 years gathering WWII artifacts from Normandy battlefields. Displayed across 2,250 square meters are over 10,000 items including 40 tanks, vehicles, and artillery pieces representing six different armies involved in the conflict.

Michel Leloup began his collection accidentally in the 1970s when he found a German half-track in a sawmill - identical to the one he had used after the war to transport timber for rebuilding Normandy. This chance discovery sparked four decades of passionate collecting until his death in 2011.
