Musée Franco-Australien

Created by the Franco-Australian association of Villers-Bretonneux, the Franco-Australian museum was officially opened on 25th April 1975. It is located on the 1st floor of Victoria school, built between 1923 and 1927, thanks to donations from school children in Victoria, Australia. On the outside wall two plaques make reference to these events. The museum tells the story of the Australian Expeditionary Corps during World War I. Since 2015, the museum has been undergoing restoration work (both architectural and museographical) and is due to reopen at the end of 2016. While work is going on, you can visit the ground floor Victoria hall with its wood panelling carved by the Australian, John Grant...
