Sir John Monash Centre

The Sir John Monash Centre is a military museum in Fouilloy dedicated to Australian operations during World War I. It features over 400 LCD screens throughout its galleries presenting multimedia accounts of these campaigns and soldier experiences.

The centre was established to honor Australia's involvement and sacrifice during World War I. It documents the progression of Australian military operations and their impact on the nation during and after the conflict.

Personal letters and diaries from Australian soldiers and nurses reveal how individuals experienced wartime through everyday words and intimate moments. These documents let visitors connect directly with the human side of military service rather than seeing only official records.

Visitors should wear comfortable shoes since moving through multiple gallery spaces involves walking. Using the SJMC mobile application helps you navigate the displays and get more out of the multimedia content on your visit.

The museum sits on a location with deep wartime connections where Australian and French troops gathered during the conflict. This setting adds meaning to the visitor experience beyond what the screens alone can convey.
