7 October 2008
Catch the travelling Sport and War exhibition before it closes on Sunday 26 October.
Drawing on the Australian War Memorial’s rich collection, the exhibition tells remarkable stories of the wartime experiences of famous sport stars, and the importance of sport to Australians serving overseas.
Among the rare relics on display are a 'Brownlow' medal presented in Changi POW camp, and cricketing champion Donald Bradman’s wartime medals.
The unique objects, photographs, posters, artwork and audiovisual displays explore the relationship between sport and war and how they have shaped Australia's identity.
See the free Sport and War exhibition in the Keith Murdoch Gallery, open 10am-5pm daily, and until 9pm on Thursday evenings.
Free guided tours of the exhibition's highlights are run every Tuesday and Thursday from 1pm.
