Shrine of Remembrance

Highlights

The Shrine of Remembrance in Melbourne is a remarkable place to learn about Australia’s military history. Built in 1934, this iconic structure was designed by World War I veterans and honours those who served in global conflicts.

Inside, you’ll find galleries filled with artefacts, artworks, and interactive displays. Don’t miss the Ray of Light, which naturally crosses the commemorative stone at 11 am on 11 November each year. The panoramic views of Melbourne from the Shrine are simply stunning!
