Exhibitions

This insightful photographic exhibition delves into the enduring social and physical impacts of the Great War on Australian society.

Learn about the rich connections between the uniforms that once graced the battlefield and the iconic fashion staples we embrace today.

This first-of-its-kind exhibition at the Shrine explores the experiences of children during war, and how their ideas about war and the military are shaped by the world around them.

Housed under the Shrine, explore over 800 objects, photographs, uniforms and works of art that illustrate the experiences of Australians at war and in peacekeeping operations from the 1850s to today.

The service and sacrifice of 400,000 Victorian men and women is symbolised by 22 replica medals, repeated to make over 4,000 medals in the 40 metre long wall.

In commemoration of the Centenary of the Armistice, the Shrine of Remembrance presents Flowers of war, a collaborative work of art by Kirsten Haydon (NZ), Elizabeth Turrell (UK) and Neil Haslem (AUS)

See recent conflicts through the eyes of the servicemen and women themselves - photographs, video footage and artefacts revealing the drama and tragedy as well as the humour and comradeship.

Revisit the Shrine's program of special exhibitions, telling the stories of Australian service and sacrifice.
