The Vietnam War gallery explores Australia’s gradual participation in the war in which nearly 60,000 Australians served. Australia’s commitment began in 1962 and ended with the fall of Saigon in 1975.
The war was widely supported at first, but by the late 1960s it had become a divisive conflict that created the largest anti-war protests Australia had ever seen.
The galleries feature objects such as the Iroquois helicopter and M113A1 Armoured Personnel Carrier (APC).
