The new galleries and exhibits will highlight diverse voices, extending beyond the experiences of those who served. To achieve this, the Gallery Development team has embarked on a comprehensive community engagement initiative.

Five advisory groups, formed with leading community members have offered ongoing guidance on gallery content and design. This process ensures that the stories we tell are relevant, and that the spaces are accessible and inclusive for all members of the public, our veterans and those still serving.
