After The War

Developed as an important contribution to our commemoration of the Centenary of the end of the First World War, the After the War exhibition explores the impact and legacy of conflict on Australia.

It covers all wars from the First World War to the present day, and features a wide range of objects, artworks, letters and documents predominately drawn from the Memorial’s own collection.

The exhibition opened Friday 5 October 2018 and will run for twelve months.
