American Cemetary, Omaha Beach, and Omaha Beach Memorial Museum ~time plan

We have hired a guide for a day of DD sights and because we can't fit it all with the guide, we are doing a few sights the day before that he suggested. I am trying to figure out the time frames and what time we can afford for these three close areas. We would arrive around 2:00 in the afternoon. Is the American Cemetary right next to the Omaha Beach Museum? It seems like it is a short driving distance. We are driving. I know the Cemetary sits on the bluff above the beach and I know that everyone takes different amounts of time to see and appreciate things. Can anyone give me an idea of how long is an adequate time in the Omaha Beach Museum? I am trying to figure out if I should drop the museum. We are okay with being rushed but I just wanted some assistance from someone who has been there. After we finish this we are driving to Villers Bocage, about 50 minutes away for the night. I plan to be at the B and B by about 7 p.m. I guess that gives me about 4 hours to figure out how to split the time. Thank you

I think you can do all three in 4 hrs. An hour for the cemetery, 2 for the memorial museum and 1 for Omaha. You actually might be able to do it in less than 4 hrs.
