The Caen Memorial Museum (now officially titled Le Mémorial de Caen: Cité de l'Histoire pour la Paix), now opens at 9:30 (Tue–Sun, closes at 18:00; summer hours resume in March: daily 9:00–19:00). The museum will close January 1, 2010, and reopen again Jan. 26. Entry tickets are valid for 24 hours, no matter what time of day they were bought. The museum's 9:00 minivan tours now cost €59/person, and €75/person for the 14:00 tours (no longer at 13:00). One of the films played at the museum, D-Day and the Battle of Normandy (rather than Jour J), now plays hourly. Also, the "Worlds for Peace" wing, and the British Gardens, have been closed.
