The centre, located near the village of Villers-Bretonneux in northern France, is set behind the Villers–Bretonneux Australian National Memorial and within the military cemetery. The centre opened in April 2018. HistoryThe Sir John Monash Centre was commissioned in 2006, and its design was unveiled by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott on 26 April 2015, the day after Anzac Day,[1] following an international design competition won by Cox Architecture.[2] The centre is named after General Sir John Monash, who led the Australian Corps on the Western Front in 1918.[3] The A$100 million cost was met by the Australian Government.[4][5][6] The centre's opening was in 2018, the centenary year of the end of the war, with the official opening ceremony held prior to Anzac Day, 25 April.[7][8] Official openingThe centre opened to visitors on 16 April 2018. It was officially opened by Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull on 24 April 2018, saying "This new centre expresses our gratitude for all our men and women who fought—and continue to fight—for our values and our interests. And in the midst of the stone, and steel, and glass of this serene monument, we know that the best way to honour the diggers of 1918 is to support the servicemen and women, the veterans and the families of today."[9] Also in attendance was French Prime Minister, Édouard Philippe, who paid tribute to Australian diggers, "We will never forget that 100 years ago, a young and brave nation on the other side of the world made history by writing our history" and, in recognition of Monash, said his tactics had given the allied forces a critical advantage.[9][10] DescriptionLocated behind the Villers-Bretonneux memorial, and built partially underground and with a turf roof,[11] the one thousand square metre centre is designed to be "subservient" to the war memorial and has been described by one of the architects, Joe Agius, as "almost an anti-building, connected to the monument from an abstract and geometric point of view".[12] Australian war artists Lyndell Brown and Charles Green designed a major tapestry, Morning Star which was created by the Australian Tapestry Workshop and hangs in the museum's foyer.[13][14] The centre tells the Australian story of the Western Front in the First World War.[15] Through a series of interactive media installations visitors are able to use their own mobile device, loaded with the SJMC App as a 'virtual tour guide',[16] throughout the Villers-Bretonneux Military Cemetery, the Australian National Memorial and the Sir John Monash Centre.[17] The Sir John Monash Centre forms part of the Australian Remembrance Trail along the Western Front, which links sites of significance to Australians, including battlefields, cemeteries and other memorials.[18] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.dva.gov.au/commemorations-memorials-and-war-graves/memorials/war-memorials/france/sir-john-monash-centre-4|title=Unveiling the Design for the Sir John Monash Centre|author=Australian Government Department of Veterans Affairs|date=11 August 2016|website=www.dva.gov.au}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.coxarchitecture.com.au/project/sir-john-monash-centre/|title=Sir John Monash Centre|website=COX}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.dva.gov.au/commemorations-memorials-and-war-graves/office-australian-war-graves/current-projects/sir-john-2|title=Sir John Monash Centre|author=Australian Government Department of Veterans Affairs|date=18 August 2016|website=www.dva.gov.au}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.openaustralia.org.au/debates/?id=2015-08-20.10.2 |title=Public Works Committee;
