Airborne Museum, Freedom from the sky!
A few kilometers from Utah Beach, the Airborne Museum in Sainte-Mère-Eglise is located on the church square where paratrooper John Steele hangs.

Through its 4 buildings with modern, interactive and spectacular scenography, the museum guides you in the footsteps of the American paratroopers on D-Day.
At the Airborne Museum, you embark in a real Waco glider, unique in France in this state of reconstruction or in a C-47 plane as the paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st airborne divisions were able to do for the Battle of Normandy.
The objects of the museum come to life thanks to the scenes of hyper-realistic reconstructions. Also, you will have the sensation of jumping from a C-47 plane in full flight to land in the heart of the village of Sainte-Mère-Eglise, or of fighting in the flooded marshes during the Battle of La Fière or of getting lost in the Normandy bocage during the Battle of the Hedges…
