The Caen Memorial

Come discover this museum which retraces the history of the Second World War, the D-Day Landings, the Battle of Normandy and the Cold War. THE SECOND WORLD WAR The holocaust, total war, the intimacy of wartime, how people behaved under occupation, liberation and the Nuremberg trials are all addressed in these exhibitions, unique in Europe. D-DAY AND THE BATTLE OF NORMANDY For the first time, the Battle of Normandy – a key episode in the liberation of Western Europe – is addressed in full. THE COLD WAR From the end of the Second World War to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the second half of the 20th century is broken down for your understanding here. DISCOVER OUR IMMERSIVE FILM: 'EUROPE, OUR HISTORY'. Over the course of 19 minutes, this film traces the history of 20th-century Europe. It offers insight into the sequence of three world and European wars: the First and Second World War, and the Cold War. Projected in 360° over 11 screens, this film plunges spectators into the heart of major events of European history, thanks to exceptional-quality archive images. Discover an unprecedented sound and visual experience! The Caen Memorial forms part of the Circuit on the Route of Canadian Remembrance, paying tribute to the 500,000 Canadian soldiers who fought to deliver freedom to the French people on two occasions in the 20th century.
