CONTENT OF THE VISIT

The Juno Beach Centre is composed of:

Book Tickets Online - Visit of the museum + Juno Park
  • A permanent exhibit consisting of 7 exhibit rooms, which draw upon documents, photographs, maps, artefacts, audiovisual and audio accounts, which allow specific atmospheres to be created. The permanent exhibit alternates between areas of emotion, reflection, discovery and information, eliciting the visitor’s participation.
  • A temporary exhibit room which alternates between historic or cultural themes. Presented until December 31, 2013, the current temporary exhibit - entitled “Allies: Canadians and British During the Second World War” - was created by the Juno Beach Centre Association - Canada, under the scientific direction of Canadian historian Eric McGeer, Ph.D. It presents how Canadians and British fought side-by-side during major events of the Second World War: at sea during the Battle of the Atlantic, in the skies during the Battle of Britain, on D-Day and throughout the Battle of Normandy. With the use of "passports/ID cards", visitors can discover the exhibit's contents through portraits of soldiers, sailors, aircraft teams as well as Canadian and British civilians and discover how the story unfolded for these brothers in arms.
