Visitors require a free timed ticket to enter the Memorial galleries.

G for George is currently not on display in the galleries, but housed at our storage and conservation facility; Treloar Technology Centre. G for George will return as the centrepiece of an enhanced permanent exhibition on Australians in Bomber Command.
