Situated in the North of France, the Sir John Monash Center is a museum that tells the story of the sacrifice of thousands of Australian soldiers during World War I.
In 2018, MUEVO undertook the entire fit-out of the Sir John Monash Center, using modern technologies to address the young generations, while paying tribute to traditional elements of Australian identity.
This grand fit-out project included the construction of several display cases and unique structures, such as a grand dome-shaped immersive gallery with multimedia applications.
The special panels framing the flat screens of the gallery were made of wood that was transferred from Australia to be processed in Greece, to be finally installed in France. The multimedia environment is interrupted by works of Australian artists that aim to reduce the emotional tension of the war stories. Visitors tour the site with the help of an application that can be downloaded on their mobile phones.
The challenge for MUEVO on this instance was to coordinate all the works and processes required to be completed between two continents. Creating a digital gallery on a tall steel and wooden structure was also tricky, considering that it contained 186 of the total 440 screens that display the narrative of the Sir John Monash Center.
