Dedicate a seat

A unique opportunity to play your part in supporting the Shrine's education and public programs.

The Shrine auditorium is an evocative space in homage to remembrance, peace and healing. This striking room of red timber, represents the red of the Flanders fields poppies and the Olive Branch; its ceiling panels and lights represent white doves in flight, and its walls are lined with images of folding paper peace cranes; a recognised symbol for peace and in remembrance for children lost in war.

Your dedication plaque can:

  • Honour the service or sacrifice of an individual Victorian service person, or a particular Australian service unit
  • Commemorate a significant anniversary of a conflict or battle involving Victorian service people
  • Recognise Victorian service people's contributions to peacekeeping and peacemaking efforts around the world
  • Acknowledge your business, organisation, or your school and your causes linked to commemorating service and sacrifice
  • Honour your family name, your town or community group
  • Connect you to the Shrine’s history
