Visitors to the museum have long been able to sit inside a replica section of D-Day Horsa Glider and learn about Pegasus Bridge and some of the first troops to land in France on 6 June 1944, and still can today.

Now, we’re digging deeper into the county’s D-Day story, with a special commemorative exhibition exploring how Oxfordshire people trained, planned, and gathered intelligence ahead of the invasion – as well as the many who fought in the campaign.

 

Cost: Included in museum admission (£6.50 Adult, £5.50 Concession, £3.50 Child, family offers and annual memberships available

 

Daily: 11am – 5pm
