The Musee D'Arromanches 80e Anniversaire D-Day 0 Euro Note is a 0 Euro Note dedicated to the D-Day Museum in Arromanches, which, created in the aftermath of the Second World War, was the first museum to commemorate the Landings. As early as 1945, local councils in the area of the Landings were meeting regularly to coordinate the necessary reconstruction: the Prefect of Normandy was presented with their proposals for urban and regional planning and development, signal monuments and commemorative plaques, and the organisation of anniversary ceremonies. The D-Day Commemoration Committee, founded in 1945, was tasked with the commemoration of 6 June 1945. It was against this backdrop that the idea of building a museum in Arromanches to commemorate the Landings was first raised. The initiative came from former Resistance fighter Raymond Triboulet, Free France's first sub-prefect, in Bayeux (Calvados) in 1944, later a minister under General de Gaulle. The D-Day Museum in Arromanches was inaugurated on 5 June 1954 by René Coty, President of the French Republic. By the time of its closure, in November 2022, the original Arromanches museum building had welcomed over xx million visitors. Read more
