Heritage Open Days 2025: Talk- Behind the scenes, a closer look at The D-Day Story's collections

Find out more about some of the artefacts that have recently been given to The D-Day Story museum but are not yet on display.

They shed light on fascinating and moving personal stories of those involved, and different aspects of the Normandy Landings. Several will relate to Portsmouth in the Second World War.

With the museum’s curator, Andrew Whitmarsh.

Please note this talk will be at Cosham Library, not The D-Day Story.

Free admission. Tickets may still be available on the day, but booking in advance recommended by phoning Cosham Library on 023 9283 4210 during opening hours.
