Conflicts 1945 to Today, Australian War Memorial, Canberra

cmd — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:49:19 +0000

Opened / February 2008
Area / 1200m²
Awarded / Premier’s Design Award 2008 in Cultural Exhibition Design
Reviewed / Artichoke magazine issue 23

The Conflicts 1945 to Today galleries in the Australian War Memorial commemorate Australia’s post WW2 wars and peace-keeping operations. The galleries cover Korea, Malaya and Indonesia, Vietnam, Afghanistan and the two Gulf Wars. The interpretive approach is to present personal stories through both traditional and contemporary media, allowing the visitor to engage at different levels with the hardship and horrors experienced by Australian personnel. Whilst the context might have changed, the individual experiences of Australians in any of the conflicts are as relevant today as they were at the time.
