This place is free to visit. But donate 2 dollars to get a coin. Plus talk to the guys behind the counter and they will tell you anything about the memorial. The kids loved it plus they got postcardsx
Free exhibition downstairs with memorabilia from Australia's involvement in various conflicts that captures the ANZAC spirit. Take the time to read the letters and diaries, incredibly moving.
The centrepiece is a stunning scuplture called Sacrifice by Rayner Hoff which I always find elegant and moving. His work also appears around the building. Wonderful art deco design by Bruce Dellit.
이 기념관은 Charles Bruce Dellit에 의해 디자인 되었고, 건물 외부 장식은 Rayner Hoff가 맡았다. 이 건물은 오스트레일리아 내에서 매우 잘 만들어진 아르데코 양식의 건물이다. 기념관은 시드니 중심 업무 지구의 동쪽 끝의 하이드 파크 남단에 위치하고 있으며, 앤잭 데이와 제1차 세계 대전 휴전 기념일에 주요 행사가 벌어지는 곳이다.
ANZAC war memorial established on 1934, I'm sure if they knew another one will started 5 years later, they could stop and build the bigger one after 1945 !
Before ascending into the memorial visit the Spirit of Anzac exhibitionon the ground floor. It is so interesting with great oral histories, a short film+moving memorabilia. Contemplative+profound
The Symbol of Sacrifice is looked at during the Remembrance Service, held daily at 11am. A moving service any day, even more so when the Symbol of Sacrifice draws in your attention and reverence.
"Designed to express with dignity+simplicity neither the glory nor the glamour of war,but those nobler attributes of human nature which the war of 1914-18 so vividly brought forth."
