To
get the most out of the Memorial's twenty galleries and constantly
changing special exhibitions, be sure to set aside enough time to
experience all that the Memorial has on offer.
The Memorial has undergone a multi-million dollar face-lift in recent
years, culminating with the opening of ANZAC Hall. In 2000, 2001 &
2003, the Memorial was named the ACT's and Australia's Best Major
Tourist Attraction. It's a "must-see" during a visit to
Canberra.
During the First World War, Australian troops were officially encouraged
to collect relics of the battles in which they had fought. That
tradition of acquisition and preservation continues today, enhancing the
written record of war, and has produced one of the finest military artifact,
document and media collections in the world.
