Caen Memorial

The Caen Memorial is dedicated to explaining the causes and consequences of the Second World War. This can take a couple of hours to visit and many visitors prefer to spend more time visiting the smaller museums and exhibits described above, which give glimpses of the conflict on a human and intimate scale at the spot where it happened.

The Memorial uses displays, models and archive film to explain the causes of the conflict, the Occupation, the Holocaust, D-Day and the aftermath of the war and was revamped in 2010.
