ANZAC Memorial

Photograph at the ANZAC Memorial Memorial

The Anzac Memorial in Sydney's Hyde Park stands as a significant monument and museum dedicated to commemorating Australian soldiers. Designed in the Art Deco style by C. Bruce Dellit, its striking exterior features reliefs and sculptures crafted by Rayner Hoff. Construction of this prominent building took place between 1932 and 1934.

This memorial holds a central place in national remembrance, particularly on Anzac Day and Remembrance Day. It was conceived as a tribute to the Australian Imperial Force following the First World War, with fundraising initiated on the anniversary of the Anzac landing at Gallipoli. The memorial was officially opened in 1934 and underwent significant refurbishments and expansion, reopening in 2018.
