Posted on 25 March 2023

“Australians on the Western Front” retraces the journey of the men and women in the First World War through 20 thematic panels. It presents the Australian Remembrance Trail which links the emblematic sites of the Australian presence on the Western Front.

Australia’s commitment on the Western Front between 1916 and 1918 was one of the most important events in Australia’s history. For the first time, Australians played a major role in world events and made a substantial contribution to the outcome of the war. Archive images, photos, and explanatory texts will allow visitors to discover the key sites of the Australian Remembrance Trail along the Western Front.

The exhibition is free and open to the public from 7 April to 7 May 2023, at the Amiens Metropole Tourist Office, right next to the Cathedral.

Opening hours:

Monday to Saturday: 9.30 am – 6 pm

Sunday: 10am – 12pm then 2pm – 5pm
