    Just wondering if anyone knows of any such in Normandy. I'm thinking a farmer's barn kind of size and obviously a farmer who's prepared to let a rosbif have a look round for a small fee.

    We're talking militaria here of course...

    To be honest in all the times I've gone, I have never seen or heard of this. There are lots of private museums which have dug up pieces. I guess it depends if you are just looking or wanting to buy too....

    Private museums are what I'm looking for. Not with a view to buying anything really, it's more a case of seeing something different from the larger museums on the tourist circuit.

    Big Red 1 museum (opposite the D14 junction off to US cemetary site) USED to be a private one.

    Thanks Sapper. Looks like the kind of thing I'm after.
