A must see if you are in the area. An amazing display of artifacts from the Allied invasion and the taking of Pegasus Bridge. Lovely friendly staff, who could speak very good English. The displays were written in French and English and the film was also played in both languages. We really enjoyed visiting this museum even though it was quite emotional.

Really interesting museum with a digital tour in your own language (if available). There are a lot of items to see, in and outside. Outside you'll finde vehicles, a glider, a part of a original/used/found glider and the pegasus bridge (I think the original one). This place also has a shop and toilets. This place is suitable for wheelchairs. Entrance was about €8.

The Fenland Sappers REA attended this museum and were lucky enough to have the museum curator follow us in!! He kindly showed us around and spoke about some of the exhibits in the museum and was very knowledgeable! This is a must if you are doing a Normandy battlefield tour as Pegasus bridge was a key crossing that had to be captured and not destroyed! If it had been maybe the Normandy assault could have failed! We have been invited back to restore the bailey bridge for an upcoming event and many of us are really looking forward to coming back to the museum.

I was looking forward to visiting here for a long time and it didn't disappoint. Easy to find just along the road from the working bridge easy walking distance. There's a reasonable size car park with no fees. We were there in September so it wasn't very busy so when in the museum part it was good to just take our time and have a good look at the exhibits which were very informative,also the video in the middle of the museum was very good we'll worth the time to have a look. Out on the outside of the exhibition the original bridge was set up with other part's concerning tanks,guns and the like. All in all if you are visiting the Normandy beaches the Pegasus bridge is a must.

Das Museum ist den britischen Fallschirmspringern und Gliedern gewidmet, deren Aufgabe es war, die beiden Brücken über die Orne zu besetzen und zu sichern, die Brücken ins Hinterland zu zerstören und die Batterie Merville außer Gefecht zu setzen, damit die Truppen Tags drauf an Sword Beach sicher landen konnten. Tolle Ausstellung, viele Artefakte, beeindruckender Film. Absolute Empfehlung.

Really great experience! The museum was well displayed and informative without being over burdening. The outside exhibitions were also brilliant. Well worth a visit. The staff spoke very good English and an added bonus was that our dog was allowed in too!

The Memorial Pegasus museum is dedicated to the men of 6th British Airborne Division, and focuses on the capture of the bridges at Ranvile and the various missions for the division on June 6th 1944. The museum was opened in 2000 but before that it was originally located on the other side of the channel and was called the Airborne forces museum. The main building and 4 smaller outside buildings display several Hundreds of historical objects and photos, main attractions of the museum are several vehicles, the original Pegasus bridge which was demolished in 1994 and luckily survived in a field for years before being obtained by the museum.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent Museum. Worth the entry fee.

What an amazing museum! Thoroughly informative, and the exhibits are very well presented. Truly a great place to visit and be informed of the tremendous effort of the airmen and soldiers.

Must visit for Brits, successful operation to capture important bridge on D -Day , Are the French grateful? I have my doubts Superb museum great artifacts, one of the highlights of the Normandy battlefield tour 21 euros for 2 adults one child think she was free

Fantastic museum, tells the story of the battle here and it’s importance in the war excellently. I think you need about an hour, to an hour and a half here max, and it’s €8 per adult. Great all times of year!

Very interesting museum such as the free tour that was offered.

What a great place to visit to see what the great men did back in 1944. There is plenty to see and read up on . Plenty of parking outside. Toilets are located pass the barrier once you have got your ticket to get in. On the way out you can go into the gift shop. I definitely recommend visiting.

Great time spent here. I wish I could have had more time. Excellent presentation of historical artifacts telling the story of the attacks prior to D-Day

Very interesting museum. Lots of exhibits and photographs. Informative film show. There's also the guns, bridge and glider in the grounds. Gift shop has plenty of souvenirs at reasonable prices!

So much information about the courage and tenacity of the British army in attacking this bridge, to see so many actual uniforms and medals of the troops involved. The fact that arms and equipment are still being found around the area is witness to the scale of the fighting. Not to be missed, see the reality not the film.

Good museum with lots of information about the paratroopers who captured Pegasus bridge on D Day. Great to see the actual bridge which is battle scarred with bullet holes. The replica Glider plane is a nice touch. They also have the remains of some of the original gliders. Make sure to walk over to see Cafe Gondree.

Brilliant place.. 43rd & 53nd Ox & Buck's Li was the fore runner of my old Army unit.. 2st Battalion The Royal Green Jackets Celer-et-Audax.. Great place to visit... Incredible courage and perhaps the greatest piece of flying in WW2 for the glider landings (especially the lead) remarkable, at night, pitch black & potentially coming under fire...

This was the first memorial and museum I had ever visited with regards to D-DAY and the Normandy landings. Needless to say it's a very interesting and humbling experience. The original Pegasus Bridge is located in the museum, a short walk from the current bridge. Very worthwhile look around with some great exhibits to see and plenty to read about. There's also a small cinema to watch a film which is in both French and English. Good parking, toilets and shop as always. Thoroughly recommend.

Pegasus Memorial Museum is located between Caen and the sea. In the early hours of D-Day on 6th June 1944 the bridge spanning the canal was captured by paratroopers of the British 6th Airborne Division. There is a great deal to see in the museum and a visit is a must.

Small but great museum, first watch the movie the longest Day, then you understand what happend here. Nice knowing, ITS the same bridge in the movie! The real One.

An easy visit if you are arriving at or departing from Caen. There is a lot to see in the showcases and a fair bit outside in the grounds. Head for the nearby free parking right next door. A most enjoyable and moving visit.

An excellent museum covering the events of the British operation to take and hold the bridgehead, to pin the eastern flank of Operation Overlord.

Emotional, thought provoking, humbling. Well worth a visit to see how brave those soldiers were.

A brilliant exhibition of kit and personal belongings and accounts. We'll worth a visit and the cost of admission.

A very detailed and informative museum for the Airborne events of D-day. The dioramas are very impressive

Excellent museum containing a lot more than you might expect from the outside. Displays detail life under the Occupation, the background about the British airborne troops as well as their roles in the Normandy invasion, including the capture of Pegasus Bridge. These stories are told using artefacts, models, reconstructions and eyewitness accounts and include both the general flow of events and the experiences of individual soldiers. In the museum grounds are various pieces of related military hardware, including a replica Horsa glider and section of Bailey bridge, but the highlight is the original Pegasus Bridge itself. All in all this is well worth a visit!

Excellent experience. So much information. Lovely to see so many school children. We need to ensure all generations never forget

A very well run museum with memories of that day and lots of reading with loads of photos, Outside is the Famous Bridge with full access, An outside area with some more exhibits around the bridge, Alan

Went to Normandy for a holiday to look around the D-daylandings sites and went in to the museum before catching the ferry back to the UK I so glad I did was amazing

Incredible piece of history! Some brilliant stories and artefacts - I think Piper Bill Millin is my new hero, thanks to the museum! Absolute legend!!! The German artefacts are really interesting, and the stories behind them. At the very back of the garden there's a shed that has a destroyed plane, which is incredibly moving. Presumably the one that was destroyed next to Pegasus Bridge? Think Google Maps may have the wrong road bridge for Pegasus, though? There's one that's the exact replica of the one in the museum, and there's one that's plain and simple. That is the one Google Maps tells us is Pegasus, rather than the replica???

Really nice museum. Not massive, but pays tribute to the bravery shown by so many to secure the Pegasus Bridge, which gave the allies a strategic advantage during the war.

Made you feel proud to be British.

Great place to visit to see part of the British airborne operation. You can go across the street and eat lunch in the first house liberated on D Day. Great a around experience

The British Commandos had an extremely difficult job to secure 2 bridges. Securing these bridges greatly assisted in expanding the beachhead. The photo looking across the canal is of the first house liberated. There is a pub there now serving good beer.

Excellent and we'll worth the visit. Helpful staff.

Fantastic collaboration of artefacts. Very friendly and helpful staff, thank you!

Absolutely superb, and a British guy gave us a fantastic speel. So enthusiastic.

Nice very organized museum. They provide discount if you've visited some other museum as well. Very friendly, staff called us for the movie in our language. Recommended visit!

Superb museum. One of the best I've visited

Lovely memorial site and museum for our fallen and surviving forefathers, admission very reasonable at 8€ per adult. Wished I had had more time to take to absorb it all in on my brief visit.

Extremely humbling experience. The museum is adjacent to the bridge/river and the first liberated house now a cafe with a visitors book and almost a museum in its own right. Easy cycle ride from Caen or the ferry port.

Great stop after seeing the new modern Pegasus bridge. One of the historian workers there gave a great background of the battles that took place around there, explained the bridge and the gliders that the commandos used.

This is fairly new museum with an amazing selection of exibits about Operation Overlord , inevitably concentrating on the liberation of the bridge over the canal at Bénouville which was subsequently renamed "Pegasus Bridge".

Lots of well preserved historical items, much detail written in French and English everywhere. Definitely a recommended visit. Also, the original bride when replaced was moved to the site of the museum and it has some bullet holes and ricochet points also.

This was a great stop to kick off our group tour of Normandy. The British guide really knew how to engage the kids and make the tour educational and interesting. Highly recommend this museum.

Excellent, those chaps were amazing. The lady who took us round had meet the veterans and had some great stories. Don't miss this...

I cannot overstate how much this place moved me. The new bridge outside is faithful to the original which is in the museum. Individual heroes have descriptions, photos and medals in the museum and the whole place is well curated with vehicles, gliders etc outside. There are memorials jus outside the museum too. I found it very moving and highly recommended it.

Really excellent small museum with detailed information on the events of D Day and subsequent days. The original WW2 bridge is part of the display in the museum grounds. Well worth a visit for anyone with even a passing interest in D Day.

Fantastic well laid out with great photos. Loved this place

Only had 30 mins to spend here but could have spent at least 2 hours as I love to read every plaque. The museum is fantastic really great displays of equipment in both mint and relic condition. Excellent displays of infantry equipment in an easy-to-follow layout inside. Good number of gun and armour examples outside. Highlight was being able to stand on the original Pegasus Bridge - WOW. Also able to see the remains of one of the gliders used on the day - huge honour. Would definitely come back next time.
