The Australian War Memorial is a peculiar monument to the Australians who bravely served and fought with the enemy during the First World War.

The Austrian War Memorial is not just a museum. This is a complex that includes a museum (more than 40,000 artifacts), a rich archive (about 20,000 military maps), a gallery, a library, and a beautiful sculpture garden.

The memorial itself contains a rich collection of military artifacts, ranging from photographs and letters to weapons.
The main place of the memorial is the hall of memory, which is an octagonal chapel with a high dome. There is the grave of an unknown Australian soldier, commemorative statues, and beautiful mosaics. Opposite this hall is the eternal flame, surrounded by a beautiful pool.

It is very interesting to visit the hall, which displays copies of aircraft that flew during the First World War. The Australian War Memorial presents the most complete collection of them.

The memorial's walls are engraved with the names of Australian soldiers who died in the First World War and the Second World War. More than a hundred thousand names. And if you look closely, these are just names: no titles, no places where they served. As the ideologists of the memorial say, this was not done by accident. After all, when death strikes, both soldier and general, we are all the same. Therefore, it is important to remember names, not titles. This is the approach chosen and implemented by Australian scientists engaged in preserving the memory of the terrible wars of the last century.

This is a rare case, but a memorial dedicated to the war includes exhibition areas and a theater. Therefore, it is a monument not only to the past but also to the present.

Every day volunteers working at the Austrian War Memorial conduct free tours for guests to tell them about the great feat of their compatriots.
