Australian War Memorial

The Australian War Memorial honors soldiers of Australia's armed forces and associated organizations who have died or served in conflicts involving the Commonwealth of Australia, as well as certain conflicts involving people from Australian colonies previous to the Federation. The memorial, first opened in 1941, features a large national military museum. The memorial sits in the Campbell area of Australia's capital, Canberra. The Australian War Memorial is located at the northern end of the city's ceremonial land axis, which runs from Parliament House on Capital Hill to the northeast, passing through the summit of the cone-shaped Mount Ainslie.

The Australian War Memorial is divided into three sections: the Commemorative Area (shrine), which includes the Hall of Memory and the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, as well as the Memorial's galleries (museum) and the Research Centre (records). There is also an outdoor Sculpture Garden at the Memorial. The Memorial is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., except on Christmas Day. The National Capital Authority (NCA) maintains several monuments and memorials on the Anzac Parade that are not part of the Australian War Memorial.
