Man in the mud is a diorama by Peter Corlett which forms part of the collection of the Australian War Memorial (AWM).

Man in the mud is popular with visitors to the Memorial, and remained on display after the AWM's World War I galleries were closed for major renovations in 2013.

[1][2] Corlett selected a pose for the subject of the diorama from that of a soldier in a photo in the AWM's collection which depicts a group of gassed Australians at a casualty clearing station in France during May 1918.

[1][2] The soldier wears a fibre uniform and metal helmet, and the diorama's backing is a brown-toned photograph of a muddy battlefield.

[1][6] Man in the mud was removed from the AWM's World War I galleries when they were closed for a major redevelopment in April 2013.
