About

In this centenary year, the University of Melbourne is offering a program of exhibitions and events to commemorate the ANZAC Gallipoli campaign. We are working with cultural partners across Melbourne, including the Shrine of Remembrance, Museum Victoria and the National Gallery of Victoria, and drawing on the University’s cultural collections and archives in exhibitions at the Baillieu Library, Potter Museum of Art, the Medical History Museum and Grainger Museum.

Explore new research into the day-to-day realities of life in the Gallipoli trenches, learn more about the experience of doctors and dentists at war and discover the history of our Indigenous Anzacs. Attend one of our public lectures exploring the contemporary impact of the Great War with leading scholars from archaeology, science, history, medicine, engineering and the creative arts, or listen to Professor Barry Conyngham’s new work, a personal reflection on the Anzac tradition.

This website includes full exhibition and events listings, as well as fascinating stories from our own archives.
