One of Australia's most popular museums can be found at the Australian War Memorial.
A visit to the mosaic Hall of the Memory and Commemorative Courtyard with its Roll of Honor is a moving and poignant experience, enhanced by the huge collection housed in the museum.

Guided tours explain the role played by Australian soldiers during the two world wars, as well as more recent conflicts.
