30 May 2018 – D-day Museum opened by HRH The Princess Royal

As part of the Heritage Lottery Funded refurbishment of the D-Day Museum at Southsea, Ubu Design were appointed by Portsmouth City Council to design a series of new landscape spaces to transform the setting to the museum building. This comprised a new entrance space, an outdoor café seating area and the setting to a new memorial wall dedicated to the memory of those involved in the Normandy landings and campaign. Working closely with the D-Day trustees we developed a design for a series of nine feature corten steel totems, three metres high with the single word ‘Remember’ laser cut into the steel in different languages representing the nations involved in the campaign.

The Museum was officially opened By Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal in May 2018 and Ubu were delighted to attend; with a dedication ceremony for the memorial wall on the anniversary of the D-Day landings on 6^th June.
