Fresh perspectives on D-Day are told through the objects on display and by people who were there at the time. From both a military and a civilian viewpoint, The D-Day Story moves expectations beyond those of a military museum towards an experience rich in the humanity of its stories.
From the preparations and journey across the Channel, to the beach landings and the Battle of Normandy, The D-Day Story makes the epic feel personal and the personal feel epic. The D-Day Story is a museum utterly transformed, and now worthy of the truly incredible story of liberation being told.
The team at Studio MB were responsible for all design and implementation stages for this project, from inception to completion, including research, narrative planning, content development, concept design, developed design and technical design, graphic design, AV software and AV hardware design, lighting design, script and copy writing, illustration, plus all procurement, production, and installation oversight and project management.
"Studio MB has worked with us to create a museum attraction that has exceeded our expectations and those of the majority of our visitors. The museum is truly transformed. It is absorbing, moving and can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
The Studio MB team were clearly as passionate about the project as we were so the exchange of ideas as the project developed was always lively and thought-provoking and has resulted in something special."
