Dunkirk War Museum (Musée Dunkerque 1940)

From May 26 to June 4, 1940, the beaches of Dunkirk in northern France were the site of one of World War II’s most significant military operations. The Dunkirk War Museum, located in this historic coastal town, recounts the heroic story of the mass evacuation known as the ‘miracle’ of Dunkirk. This operation, which involved the rescue of over 338,000 British and Allied soldiers, is vividly depicted through the museum’s exhibits. Visitors can explore the detailed accounts and artifacts that bring to life the dramatic and pivotal events of those nine days.
