The Museum of Perth proudly hosted the travelling exhibition “Perth at the Outbreak of War” which showed what Perth was like in the lead up to, and during, the First and Second World Wars. It showed how Perth’s people lived, prepared, played and worked, and included spectacular photographs of Perth throughout this time.

This wonderful exhibition was created for Perth Heritage Days 2014 but has now been gifted to the RSL who loan it out to the community to shed light on this time in Perth’s history.
