War Winning Engineering Exhibition

Discover the Engineering Marvel That Helped Win WWII!

🛠️ The Royal Engineers Museum is proud to unveil an exhibition drawing on the original plans and artefacts of the legendary Mulberry Harbours — a daring solution that changed the course of history.

📜 Thanks to a £233,976 grant from @HeritageFundUK, thousands of wartime blueprints, models, and even an original anchor are being conserved and digitised for the first time since 1944!

🌊 These floating harbours enabled the landing of 220,000 troops, 40,000 vehicles, and 680,000 tons of supplies in Normandy — a feat of engineering brilliance.

🖥️ Explore the story from 28 June through to the 20 December 2026:
