Stepping into Kriegsmuseum Overloon, located near the German-Dutch border, is like stepping back in time. The museum, which covers over 20,000 square meters of exhibition space, offers a unique blend of lifelike scenarios and modern, interactive installations.
One of the museum's latest attractions is the D-DEX (D-Day Experience), a captivating 5D experience that immerses visitors in the historical context of D-Day and World War II. This immersive exhibition uses sensory and multimedia elements to create an engaging and educational experience.
The D-DEX experience includes dynamic multimedia presentations with surround sound and visual effects, recreating moments from D-Day. Visitors will also find themselves in the midst of wartime scenarios, thanks to the use of motion, environmental effects, and hands-on exhibits.
The immersive storytelling in D-DEX places visitors in the shoes of soldiers and civilians during the invasion, providing a first-hand account of the events that unfolded on June 6, 1944. The exhibition features detailed historical artifacts and visuals, including military vehicles and weaponry relevant to the event.
D-DEX does not shy away from the strategic and human dimensions of D-Day. It focuses on the deployment of Allied forces, the challenges faced during the Normandy landings, and the broader impact on the liberation of Europe. The exhibit is carefully curated to educate visitors on the significance of the Netherlands in the campaign, the role of various national forces, and the realities of war.
D-DEX is available in German, English, and Dutch languages, making it accessible to a wide audience. The multimedia exhibition follows the 146th Engineer Combat Battalion of the US Army on a secret mission to Omaha Beach.
