Built in 1934, the Shrine of Remembrance is the Victorian national memorial to Australians who have served in war and peacekeeping operations.
Visitors can find peaceful reflection in the Sanctuary and explore the Galleries of Remembrance, where over 800 artworks, historical artefacts and personal effects illustrate the experiences of Australian veterans from the 1850s to today.
The Balcony offers breathtaking vistas of Melbourne and oversees the Shrine’s 13-hectare Reserve and Second World Memorial Forecourt where the Eternal Flame has burned since 1954.
The Last Post Service occurs every Sunday at 4.45pm, complete with buglers, bagpipers and Shrine Guard in historic uniform.
The Shrine is free to enter. Guided tours are available for those who would like to enhance their visit.
