🏛️ Hidden Gem in Melbourne: Shrine of Remembrance

#summervacay 📍 Address: Birdwood Ave, Melbourne 🕙 Opening Hours: 10 AM – 5 PM, 7 days a week (closed on public holidays) 💰 Admission: Free I’ve been to this area so many times but never actually went inside the Shrine of Remembrance — let alone realized you could go all the way to the top! This visit completely opened my eyes. The architecture is stunning, and the exhibitions are powerful and detailed, beginning with stories from World War I. 🧭 What to Expect 🔹 The Crypt (Underground Sanctuary) Located at the heart of the memorial, the Crypt was built to honor the units that served in WWI. The space features a striking sculpture of a father and son — representing two generations who served in the 1914–1918 and 1939–1945 world wars. 🪖 More Than Just a Monument From the underground sanctuary to the upper gallery, the experience is both moving and informative. Whether you’re a history buff or just enjoy great architecture and panoramic city views, this place is a must-visit. 🧡 Pro Tip Don’t miss the rooftop viewing platform — the view of Melbourne is incredible! 🏷️ #melbournehiddengems #shrineofremembrance #freeinmelbourne #wwihistory #australiatravel #melbournemustdo
