The D-Day Museum, in Portsmouth, Hampshire, will offer free entry on Remembrance Sunday, falling on 13th November (Sunday). Staff at the D-Day Museum will make presentations about the plans for the future transformation of D-Day Museum at 12:00pm and 2:00pm.
The Development Officer at D-Day Museum, Andrew Whitmarsh, said the D-Day Museum was being awarded £4 million by the Heritage Lottery Fund, as announced earlier this year, towards the cost of their £5 million transformation project. It has funding from Portsmouth City Council and from other contributors.
The Development Officer added that the museum’s new displays will take a fresh approach to telling the D-Day story, through personal stories and wonderful artefacts. He remarked that this is a chance to find out more about their amazing plans for new displays and activities of the museum, opened to the public. The transformation project aims for a re-launch of the museum and for the commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day in 2019. The museum will be open from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The last free entry will be at 4:30pm.
