About the Australian War Memorial
As a national memorial, museum and archive for war, the Australian War Memorial (AWM) honors all Australians who died because of war, peacekeeping duties included. It stands in the Canberra suburb of Campbell, at the base of Mount Ainslie, at the symbolic end of the land axis in Walter Burley Griffin's design for the city. Five buildings and a sculpture garden stand within grounds of approximately 14 hectares (35 acres). Most of the galleries and commemorative areas are in the Memorial Building, whose Hall of Memory contains the memorial's Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier, installed in 1993.
Charles Bean conceived the idea of a national war memorial in 1916, and legislation formally established the AWM in 1925. A design competition produced no winner, so the architects Emil Sodersten and John Crust were brought together to produce a design, fusing Sodersten's Art Deco style and Crust's approach of cutting costs. Building was due to start in 1929, but the Great Depression delayed it. By 1935 staff occupied parts of the Memorial Building, and it was officially opened to the public on Remembrance Day in 1941.
The memorial was first envisioned for those who died in the First World War, and its scope grew to include the Second World War, then every other war in 1952, and in 1975 it widened again to every Australian who died in a conflict. Galleries cover the World Wars, and exhibits include the Hall of Valour and the Aircraft Hall. Denton Corker Marshall designed several structures added from the 1980s to the 2000s. Every night a Last Post service is held on the grounds, and national services mark Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.

- Fan roof and window columns
- The rounded wing has a fanned roof of narrow segments, and the straight wings are lined with window columns. A larger print keeps these fine lines readable.
- One piece with the ground
- The Australian War Memorial is joined to the ground in the exported file, and the four-side check found no floating parts, so nothing needs gluing.
