Virtual Visit #81 - World War Two Gallery Jewel Box Displays
Part of a series of Virtual Visit posts relating to the Australian Army Museum of Western Australia entitled “World War 2 Jewel Boxes".
In the entrance presentation of the World War 2 Gallery are seven simple Perspex cases or ‘jewel boxes” set into the wall. These seven installations are intended to present the Australian experience in World War 2 through medals awarded and a series of evocative artefacts. Visitors can experience them as objects in their own right or as start points for reminiscences, conversations or connections.

The Australian Army Museum of Western Australia was closed to volunteers and the public for extended periods during the COVID-19 pandemic beginning in March 2020. One outcome was the creation of an expanded on-line presence through a weekly Virtual Visit post. The initial response encouraged the Museum over the following three tears, to continue the series. Virtual Visits normally focused on an object or theme from the collection. The general format was to link the story of the object and its significance. with web links and related materials to facilitate a continuing journey of self-discovery.
