Resurrecting the past
This two-year travelling exhibition showcased the stories of Australia’s military experiences from the First World War, right up to present day, in an immersive and highly memorable way. Recreated environments, over 200 military artefacts, digital effects, films and an audio guide brought the sacrifice and heroism of a hundred years of Australian servicemen and women to vivid, unforgettable life.
Shaped by its visitors
To ensure the exhibition resonated personally with each guest, we also curated a unique new ‘Local Stories’ showcase for each of the 23 communities the exhibition visited, featuring artefacts and stories from their region. Visitors could record and leave behind their own remembrance messages, as well as take away memories that moved them in a virtual story briefcase.
