The D-Day Museum is home to the Overlord Embroidery and was specially built to hold it. The Overlord Embroidery took five years to complete and measures 272 feet long. It is the largest work of its kind in the world. Visitors are handed a Soundalive device upon entering the museum, which allows them to hear an audio commentary. The museum also has a film show, which includes original footage and is in the centre of the museum. As well as the film and embroidery there are also vehicles and displays of other material associated with D-Day and the war. In 1994 the D-Day Museum was opened by H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother . The museum has its own shop and restaurant. EXTERNAL LINKS
