An excellent new facility commemorating Australia's part in the war on the Western Front during WW1. Take your mobile phone and headphones, download the app at the centre to get the most out of the visit. Well-worthwhile

I attended at dawn on a Sunday morning and walked the grounds alone for an hour or so. I accidentally wandered into the (unbeknownst to me) closed, yet open Monash center. (The door was open) when I went to leave the doors had closed and I was trapped, thank you to the cleaner who didn't speak any english for helping me get out. The memorial is such a peaceful place to rest those who met such a violent end

Extraordinary new museum. Beautifully designed. Some breath taking and deeply moving images and stories all excellently presented. Battles and conditions clearly depicted. 15 minute film with special effects well worth watching although includes some very strong images. Take smart phone headphones if you have them as the museum has an app to download for use with exhibits.

Very good audio visual based museum telling Australia's role in WW1. Well worth the visit.

Immersive main video! Wow! Won’t spoil it; just go and see.

Wow..... I left this place very humbled and moved. The information in the tour was well put together and if you have the time make sure you click on the extra links as they add so much more information. We spent 5 hours here and it went in a heartbeat. For every aussie passing nearby its a must stop.....

I am very proud that this memorial and cemetery is in excellent condition and the Monash Centre is a first rate establishment. Certainly a place to honour and remember all those incredible men. Spare the time to remember Captain Frederick George Barnett of 17th Bn AIF who was killed in action in August 1918. Located X B 8. He was my nanny’s cousin. A 29 year old Solicitor who was born in Araluen NSW. LEST WE FORGET

An absolutely brilliant place! Well designed and planned out. Information portrayed is very informative and captivating and very in-depth and presented in a way that will appeal to audiences of all ages. Best to allow a full day if you really want to watch all videos and really absorb it all.

A wonderful addition to the Memorial. Very graphic but all done extremely well to provide us with something of an idea of how horrible WW1 was, and also how much Sir John Monash did to advance the Allied Forces.

Follow up visit to Villers-Bretonneaux after quite some years to see the Sir John Monash Centre commissioned under the aegis of Dr Brendon Nelson, former Commonwealth Minister For Defence, Ambassador to NATO and Director of The Australian War Museum in Canberra. It was significant drive up from Paris but well worthwhile. The Centre is discreetly added to the rear of the main building, is well lit by natural light, contains numerous small “objects” and has an excellent series of multimedia presentations explaining how things in Australia were before and after WW1 and explaining in detail what happened in this area and how it was done by Australians being lead by Australians.

An amazing centre detailing our military past and the exposure to Ww1

Nestled unobtrusively beneath the hill at Villiers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery, it is a must visit. Recommend getting there first thing in the morning. We caught a taxi from Amiens (about 45 euro) and then a train back in the afternoon. There is no direct transport to or from the memorial (unless driving yourself). It is a gentle 3kms walk from the train station. There is a lovely Cafe for light lunch if needed. Take your earbuds and mobile phone.

We stayed at Amiens and hired bikes at Buscyclette at Amiens train station before catching local train to Brennaux. The French trains have cars where you can take your bikes it’s very cool. Bikes from the station super cheap (5 euros for a day) and helped get to the JM memorial (which is awesome and deserves a more accessible location - it’s on a Commonwealth Graves site beautifully kept. But does not have the accessibility to properly commemorate Australia’s sacrifice on Western Front WW1) - we also then used the bikes to cycle Amiens parks and canals which were very beautiful and totally unexpected - we had no idea til we literally just made use of the hire time what an amazing cycle way and how beautiful the Amiens waterways are. Totally Recommend this experience for every Australian in France.

One can only be moved emotionally by this centre and the cemetery. I'm proud as an Australian and sad as well. Such young men all gone too early and for what when it comes down to it. WW2, yes, the Nazis had to be stopped, but why did hundreds of thousands of men from all sides die for in WW1? At any rate, this centre is amazing and God bless John Monash. What needs to be done though is a free shuttle bus from Amiens to people wishing to see the centre and that would be appreciated. Trains are slow or hit and miss from Amiens to Villers B so we got a taxi from Amiens to take us and it was the most expensive taxi ride I've taken and I've been in London cabs and New York cabs as well. So fellow travellers be ready for that. Thank you Australian authorities for getting this centre built and thank you people of France for looking after and respecting our Australian boys lying there so well.

An amazing Experience. Staff are very friendly and informative. Very well put together tour via the app

The Museam is well hidden round the back of the memorial not very sign posted but is amazing with the audio guides on the app. It's also completely free.

The most powerful and overwhelming museum…such a moving and harrowing part of Australian history. Information was clearly, honestly, and creatively presented. So proud of the efforts of our Australians.

Beautiful memorial and super interactive museum. Spent 5 hours there. Set in a peaceful location with great views.

Best war related monument I've ever visited.

Excellent AV displays. Take your headphones

I visited today, l came by train from Amiens to Villers-Bretonneux (11 minutes) then an easy 45 minute walk through the town and then along a path to the site (only a gentle hill). The train ‘P20’ was €4 each way, but check the schedule as it’s infrequent, my train from Amiens departed at 8.21am and the first return train was at 1.21pm from Villers-Bretonneux. The Centre and the Memorial is terrific - bring headphones or bluetooth wireless sound for your smartphone as you’ll need it for the self guided tour.

Excellent place to visit. The multimedia museum is very impressive. A must see place. Free entry.

Very educational. Terrific memorial to the heroes of the Great War.

A modern, interactive war museum, located in the Val de Somme, at Australia’s WW1 national war memorial and commonwealth cemetery.

Make sure to visit the Sir John Monash Centre, last, because everything else pales in comparison. A fully interactive experience, that really takes you back in time.
