Building Victoria's Shrine of Remembrance

11 November 2024

Victoria's Shrine of Remembrance was established in the wake of World War One. Designed by two returned servicemen, its form was inspired by one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.

On the 90th anniversary we take a look back at the Shrine's history, development and ongoing role preserving stories of sacrifice, service and remembrance for future generations.
