About this Event
Delve deeper into the Anzac Memorial’s stunning art-deco architecture and commemorative symbolism with our free Twilight Tours.
This unique tour of the Memorial, long after the public have gone home, commences with an overview of the history of this remarkable art deco memorial. You’ll have a rare opportunity to view ‘Sacrifice’ after dark and learn about why the recumbent form of an Anzac whose soul has passed to the Great Beyond is held aloft by his best beloved.
What do the 120,000 stars on the domed ceiling represent, and why do we release hundreds of paper stars with the names of soldiers killed in conflict from the Hall of Memory into the Hall of Silence where Sacrifice stands?
Pause and reflect on the geographical reach of the call to serve and the enormity of sacrifice across generations in the Hall of Service.
This is a tour you really will never forget.
