🇦🇺Australian War Memorial Museum🏫
#australiatrip
The Australian War Memorial Museum in Canberra is a solemn and profound testament to Australia's military legacy. As you enter, you're enveloped in a reverent atmosphere, surrounded by the stories and sacrifices of those who served.
The museum's exhibits are meticulously curated, showcasing a comprehensive collection of artifacts, photographs, and interactive displays that span Australia's involvement in conflicts from World War I to the present day. Each section offers a poignant glimpse into the realities of war, from the trenches of Gallipoli to the battlefields of Vietnam and beyond.
The Roll of Honour stands as a solemn reminder of the ultimate sacrifice made by thousands of Australians. Throughout the museum, visitors are encouraged to reflect, remember, and pay tribute to the bravery and resilience of those who served. It's an emotional and enlightening experience that leaves a lasting impression on all who visit.
I went there for the Last Post Ceremony (it's free but you still have to book tickets online) and it was quite interesting. The ticket to the ceremony doesn't grant you access to the other parts of the museum but if you have enough time and are interested in Australia's war and conflict history it looked well displayed.The War Memorial is also a great starting point for a hike up to the Mount Ainslie Lookout with a beautiful view over Canberra - especially great during sunset.
Really beautiful building, be sure to walk outside inside the building above, beautiful, but still feel sad because of the war when you see the painting inside
The Australian War Memorial is located on the north side of Lake Griffin. It is a blue-gray dome building built to commemorate the soldiers killed in Australia's war in World War II. [check in January]
This is a place all Australians/ Kiwi’s/ Americans and all visitors from any of our United Nations would visit at least once.
Driving from Melbourne to Sydney, I took a little detour to see Canberra, the capital of Australia. It was about 3 p.m. when I arrived in Canberra, I went directly to the War Memorial. It was a good place to park. There were many tourist buses outside, which were free of charge. This is also Australia's National War Memorial, which was founded in 1941 to commemorate the soldiers who died in various wars to defend their country. There are three main halls in the museum: the World War II Hall, the Bradbury Aircraft Hall and the Australian and New Zealand Legion Hall. The whole National War Memorial is solemn and solemn. Once you step into the memorial, you will feel the silence. There is a wall inside which the names of all the soldiers who died are recorded. Others have their own stories. We can see that many soldiers who won countless honors died in battle, and the proportion of officers is very high. There are also battles simulated by villains, as if they were in front of us. The day we went, we couldn't go to the hollow place in the middle, because we were holding a memorial service. We watched many people in black clothes and different age groups singing the national anthem, and our mood was very heavy. War memorials are heavy, meaning peace of time. Stepping out of the memorial hall, there is a straight road outside, and you can see the Capitol building directly ahead. This memorial is really worth visiting.
The Australian War Memorial is clean, tidy, solemn and warm. Every deceased person is remembered. Every deceased person is grateful. They all have their own names, their own stories and even you can understand his interests. Every soul standing in front of God is equal. Memorial is not about remembering bitterness and sweetness, nor about teaching future generations not to be ungrateful. War is for peace. Cleaning up the remains of comrades in war and preserving this memory is the greatest tribute to the dead. It is like a large oil painting cure for pain in the memorial hall, healing pain, cherishing life and treating others kindly. There is no need to cry or cry. Our pursuit of peace is also for the sake of dignity.
The War Memorial is a turquoise dome building, somewhat like an Arab courtyard reflection style. She is one of the most magnificent museums in the world, built after World War II to commemorate Australian soldiers killed in battle. The memorial hall has Memorial hall, exhibition room, projection hall and exhibition about Japanese army during World War II. It is also an educational and research center of war history and military history. The whole atmosphere in the memorial hall is still very solemn and solemn.
