Least attractive is what the Federal Government loves. When the Government and the JBC have no passion or interest in what they are suppose to be displaying, then there is no desire to change it. It does not help when the local guides post five star ratings and reviews like this.

"Honestly such a great museum for anyone interested in D-day history, particularly the Canadian version. The museum really delves deep and provides detailed information about the Canadian role in the war. There is also a temporary exhibit about Dieppe which is well worth visiting. Highly recommended for all and there is free parking."

What is really needed is an unbiased assessment of the JBC, and other museums for that matter, as everyone I have spoken to who have been to other Normandy sites and know something about the topic all agree that the JBC is not a very good museum.
