Australian War Memorial

Shared experience: art and war – Australia, Britain and Canada in the Second World War

Shared experience: art and war is the first exhibition of its kind to compare how these three nations lived through and recorded one of the worst conflicts in human history. It includes works of art from some of the finest wartime artists from these three nations. The exhibition shows that for Australia, Britain and Canada the Second World War truly was a shared experience.

Created jointly by the Australian War Memorial, the Imperial War Museum, and the Canadian War Museum, this spectacular art exhibition depicts how the Second World War affected those who lived through it.

Shared experience is on display in the Australian War Memorial’s Special Exhibitions Gallery from 5 November 2005 to 26 February 2006.
