World War 2 Galleries, Australian War Memorial, Canberra

Opened / May 1999
Floor Area / 1,700 m²

The redevelopment of the World War 2 Galleries in the Australian War Memorial Canberra forms an important element in the way Australia remembers and understands the experience and cost of the Second World War. The displays derive a unique character from the Memorial’s mission and collection. A strong philosophical and humanist viewpoint considers events and consequences in a manner that is accurate, empathetic, realistic and dignified.
