Step back into history and witness a lively debate of the 1920s come to life in the Shrine of Remembrance's new exhibition, Designing Remembrance.
Explore the entries of the 1921 War Memorial design competition, each a testament to the social and political tapestry of that time. From grand monuments to humble sanctuaries, you'll discover the different visions that once competed for a place in the heart of Victoria. Decide for yourself whether the Shrine of Remembrance was the best choice for the National War Memorial of Victoria. Offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the past, you can examine detailed plans, conceptual drawings and correspondence, gaining insight into the creative process behind the Shrine's inception.
As the Shrine's 90th anniversary is celebrated, this exhibition serves as a poignant reflection on the roads not taken. Join in rediscovering the untold stories behind the designs that paved the way for the enduring legacy of the Shrine of Remembrance.
