Temporary Exhibition at the Sir John Monash Centre
The road to Armageddon : How the Western Front developed 1914-1915
In 1915, trench warfare defined the Western Front as the conflict settled into a brutal stalemate. Soldiers endured some of the harshest living conditions imaginable, making it even more devastating with the first large-scale use of poison gas.
The Sir John Monash Centre’s new exhibition explores this pivotal year of the First World War. Visitors will have the chance to engage directly with history, with helmets and gas masks available to handle — and even try on — for a unique hands-on experience.
The exhibition will be open from 19 September 2025 through to February 2026.
