Current Exhibitions

The exhibition presents the story of Australia in the First World War chronologically, covering all major theatres of operations: Gallipoli; the Western Front; Sinai and Palestine; and the war at sea.

The Second World War Galleries show how Australians fought in campaigns in Europe, the Mediterranean, North Africa and south-east Asia. It covers the experience of those on the home front, when the Australian mainland came under direct attack for the first time.

The Hall of Valour honours the one hundred Australians who have received the Victoria Cross and the nine Australian Defence personnel who have directly received the George Cross.

This exhibition represents the Holocaust through the experiences of survivors who made new lives in post-war Australia, as well as Australian official war artist Alan Moore.

This series of exhibitions combine cutting edge technology with large iconic objects to tell powerful stories about Australian involvement in conflicts over six decades.

Access to this gallery is facilitated from 10 am up to 1 pm on Wednesday and Saturday mornings. Book your free ticket to visit.

This exhibition is currently closed.  We will continue to share this story and those of other contemporary conflicts, when we open our new galleries as part of the Memorial Development Project.
