Sir John Monash Centre with more than 400 LCD screens, with a sound system and spatialized lighting, which constitute the tour route.

Northern France and Belgium were the scene of major fighting between 1914 and 1918. The Sir John Monash Centre, named after General Sir John Monash who led the Australian forces on the Western Front in 1918, allows visitors to discover the history and the often unknown role of Australia in the first conflict of the 20th century. Through a number of themes, the visitor discovers, through a fine and brilliant multimedia technology, the history of this country, then a young emerging nation, but also its military affairs and its international politics before, during and after the First World War. It is also an opportunity to pay tribute to the lives of the Australian men and women (more than 295,000, including 132,000 wounded and 46,000 dead) who enlisted and sometimes sacrificed themselves alongside the Allied forces. An educational, moving and sensory visit. And since 2021, a brand new application specially dedicated to children: Digger Quest (accessible from 6 years old). With the help of a tablet, the youngest visitors can immerse themselves in a real time travel in the daily life of Australians in France during the First World War. The testimonies of Australian soldiers and nurses bring a real immersion to offer a new look on this period of history and the important role played by Australia in the conflict. One more reason to come and discover the Memorial with your family!

A wonderful addition to the Memorial. Very graphic but all done extremely well to provide us with something of an idea of how horrible WW1 was, and also how much Sir John Monash did to advance the Allied Forces.

Ce musée est une belle découverte.
Cathy la directrice adjointe est un amour et le personnel est très agréable et souriant.
Par ailleurs, le musée est équipée de technologie captivante avec sa variété de sujet à notre disposition.
Une superbe surprise a Fouilloy !
