Generally considered one of Australia’s best museums, the Australian War Memorial (AWM) provides an in-depth examination of the country’s involvement in war and peacekeeping. It is a world class museum, and includes impressive – and historically rigorous – displays of items and military equipment. The names of all the Australians killed during war or peacekeeping missions are inscribed on panels along the upper levels of the memorial’s courtyard, and the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier is located in the Hall of Remembrance at the northern end of the courtyard. Allow at least a day. The AWM occasionally holds open days for its large storage warehouse in the northern Canberra suburb of Mitchell (usually in September or October).
