Australian War Memorial

The Australian War Memorial in Campbell, Canberra, is Australia's national memorial and museum dedicated to members of its armed forces and supporting organisations who have died or participated in wars and peacekeeping operations. Located at the northern end of Anzac Parade beneath Mount Ainslie, it combines shrine, museum and archive. Notable for its Byzantine-style Memorial Building, Hall of Memory, Roll of Honour and extensive military collections, it serves as a major commemorative and educational institution.

Visitors can expect a large Byzantine-style Memorial Building with galleries, commemorative areas and landscaped grounds at the northern end of Anzac Parade. Inside are military collections, aircraft, vehicles, artworks, photographs and archival displays across conflicts from colonial times to recent peacekeeping. Key areas include the Commemorative Area with the Roll of Honour, Hall of Memory and Pool of Reflection, the galleries, and outdoor sculptures. The visit includes museum exploration, quiet commemorative spaces and the daily Last Post Ceremony in the Commemorative Courtyard.
