Coal Creek Community Park and Museum has Changed Forever: Legacies of Conflict exhibition from Shrine of Remembrance return
The "Changed Forever: Legacies of Conflict" exhibition tells stories of migrants resettling in Australia from war-torn countries alongside recent veterans, exploring the impacts of conflict on contemporary Australia.
The Shrine of Remembrance's Changed Forever: Legacies of Conflict exhibition is coming to Coal Creek Community Park and Museum. In 'Changed Forever', stories of migrants who have resettled in Australia from war-torn countries are told beside those of recent veterans of overseas service in the Australian Defence Force. By telling these stories, the exhibition explores the impacts of global and civil conflict in changing lives and shaping contemporary Australia.
An opening event is scheduled for 31 August, and the exhibition will be open until 4 December 2023, during Coal Creek operating hours
Final exhibition stop
The exhibition has been moving across the state since September 2019, and Coal Creek is the last place to host this moving exhibition. When you come along to the exhibition, expect to be met with art, objects, photographs, audio visuals and interactives that all help to enhance the personal stories and their experiences in conflict and life post-war.
To celebrate 'Changed Forever' coming to South Gippsland, an opening event will be held on Thursday 31 August between 6.00pm and 8.00pm. After that, you will be able to view the exhibition until 4 December 2023 during Coal Creek's opening hours which are Friday to Monday 10.00am to 4.00pm, or seven days a week during school holidays.
