Get ready to read. One of the best museums in the country IMO but very text heavy

Yep. If you're not versed in history, you can get lost for hours reading up on it, and it's fascinating, but time-consuming. The more history you know, you'll recognize more of what you're looking at without having to read.

Several years ago, I watched a NOVA episode on PBS about the enigma machine. It was the first I'd heard about it, as it had just become de-classified. When I visited the just-opened D-Day Museum, I turned the corner and saw that machine in its glass case. I can't describe the chills I got down my spine.

It's a fantastic museum. I've done a speed-through and done half a day there. Either way, you'll be left wanting more.
