Shrine of Remembrance
The Shrine of Remembrance is Victoria’s national war memorial, built in 1934 to honour First World War veterans and now commemorating all Australians who have served.
Recognised as Australia’s leading cultural tourism destination, the Shrine offers a moving and immersive visitor experience.
Step inside to explore the Galleries of Remembrance, home to over 800 artefacts including an original Gallipoli landing boat and personal stories of Australians in war and peacekeeping. Discover the Sanctuary's classical interior, where Ray of Light demonstrations occur every half hour. From the Balcony, take in breathtaking views of Melbourne and the surrounding memorial gardens.
Families can embark on a Shrine scavenger hunt with free Shrine Kids activity cards.
Experience the Last Post Service every Sunday at 4.45pm, featuring buglers, bagpipers, and the Shrine Guard in historic uniform.
Guided tours run hourly (except 1pm).
