On display through August 30, 2026, in Louisiana Memorial Pavilion

Since 1945, the D-Day landings have been commemorated each year along the coast of Normandy, France, transforming once-battered beaches and villages into places of reunion, remembrance, and reflection. Over the last 82 years, these ceremonies have drawn veterans and their families, local residents, historians, reenactors, students, and visitors from around the world, all gathering to honor the sacrifices and legacies of D-Day. 

Beginning with the 50th anniversary commemorations in 1994, French photographer Fabrice Bourge documented these events from a deeply personal perspective. Working beyond official stages and formal ceremonies, Bourge focused his lens on the human moments unfolding in the crowd—quiet embraces, expressions of gratitude, moments of silence, and fleeting encounters between generations. Influenced by the candid style of Henri Cartier-Bresson, Bourge’s photography exhibit D-Day Remembered captures the emotions of remembrance and reveals how the memory of World War II continues to resonate decades later.
