pegasus memorial (memorial pegasus)印象

I first visited this museum many years ago and it has had a freshen up at some time and is now excellent if small which is understandable due to the subject being covered. Well worth a visit
-
This is part of our history and a must if you are in the area. The old bridge is in the grounds with a lot of exhibits including tanks and guns and gliders.

I have been to Pegasus Bridge several times in the past, often taking parties of schoolchildren, but this was my first visit to the Pegasus Memorial Museum. I was very impressed – mainly thanks to a brilliant young French woman who gave us the guided tour. A brief introduction, and an excellent film were followed by a tour of the museum grounds which contain many memories of D Day. Our guide was so obviously passionately involved in her work and her personal encounters with the remaining veterans that it was a very moving experience. She was also very knowledgeable about the details of the events of that memorable day.You must visit this Museum; and follow it (as we did) with a look at the memorial stones where the first three gliders landed (what a feat of flying!) and then a coffee at Cafe Gondree to reflect on what happened 70 years ago.

An excellent and moving collection of images and stories for a key event in the D-Day landings. Close by to Ranville cemetry.

This is a museum dedicated to the British Airborne troops who captured many of the bridges east of Sword Beach on D-Day. The bridge at the museum was purchased by the museum and was named in honor of the Pegasus horse on the patches of the soldiers. There is a very nice museum on site, the bridge, and a British glider.There are a couple of buildings near the glider that were not that memorable as I can’t recall what was on display inside of them. You need about an hour to take this all in, be sure to take your time walking through the museum. There are some very nice displays. There is parking near the museum at no cost.

My first visit to Pegasus Bridge so took a visit to the Museum. Started with a video all about the glider landings - wow amazing achievement to land so close at night with no GPS. Then a long wander round to see the remnants of one of the gliders, a mock up a glider - how claustrophobic that must have been and eerie and frightening. Credit to the soldiers. The museum is well laid out extremely informative. Staff are excellent. A must for anyone in the area to visit.

An excellent presentation of this amazing world war 2 feat of capturing this bridge plus one other. Ham and jam as they were code named. The original bridge has been repositioned and there is a replica full sized glider which puts the whole operation into perspective. 30 brave people, packed into this small space, who made such a difference to the future. The maps show just how strategically important this was and the guide Mark, was terrific. So knowledgeable and articulate I feel privileged to have been able to see and hear about the bravery and organisation that this involved. We will never forget. Need to find the film The Longest Day now.

Visited the museum a few days after the 70th anniversary of the D-Day landings and got to say that even though it was very busy you didn't have to fight with people to look at everything.

We started our visit to the Normandy beaches and World War II sites with a trip to Pegasus Bridge. The museum is fascinating and being able to walk on the original bridge is a highlight. Also, being able to walk up some steps to look into one of the gliders really brings home the bravery and amazing achievements of the young men who landed at Pegasus Bridge.If you start here, all of the beaches are then to the west, so you can work your way from Pegasus Bridge round to all of the beaches and then on to Ste Mere Eglise (although you need a few days to do justice to all the sites and museums).
