Southsea: D-Day Museum and Overlord Embroidery 
Description
A visit to the museum starts with the Overlord embroidery, designed to mimic the Beaux Tapestry it tells the story of the build up to and execution of the D-Day landings (Operation Overlord) in Normandy (the parallels with the Norman invasion across the channel 876 years earlier being pointed out early on in the exhibition). There is also a 15 minute film that sets the context for Operation Overlord. The rest of the museum has displays and exhibits related to both Portsmouth's role in D-Day and some general history about the Second World War
