The Australian War Memorial is a memorial commemorating the lives of the soldiers who laid down their lives for the Commonwealth of Australia and after. It also houses a wonderfully curated gallery displaying memorial items from the First World War, Second World War and other conflicts after 1945. The Last Post Ceremony is the museum's highlight, where each night, the story behind one of the individuals in the Roll of Honour is shared.
The war memorial has three divisions, i.e., A Commemorative Area or the shrine, the Memorial’s galleries and a Research Centre. Consisting of two floors, the upper level of the memorial displays the involvement of Australia in World War I and II, while the lower level is famous for the audio-visual gallery regarding Australia’s involvement in Afghanistan, as well as many galleries relating to conflicts during the Colonial and Pre-federation eras, and developments post 1945.
