Museum At Home keeps people connected to Memorial

The Australian War Memorial’s Museum At Home initiative enables people to stay connected with the stories of Australia’s armed forces through a range of compelling digital content.

While the Memorial is closed to the public until further notice as part of efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19, it remains committed to sharing the stories of the Australian experience of war and military service.

Museum At Home brings the Memorial to people wherever they may be, with an extensive range of online and digital resources including podcast series, documentaries, 360-degree digital experiences and a number of online exhibitions.

Director of the Australian War Memorial Mr Matt Anderson said the Memorial continues to find ways for people to stay engaged with the Australian experience of war from their homes.

“While our galleries and exhibitions are temporarily closed, we remain very much committed to connecting Australians with the stories of our nation’s servicemen and servicewomen through a number of online and digital initiatives,” Mr Anderson said.

“Whether it’s impactful storytelling like the podcast series Trapped, or an immersive 360-degree digital experience taking you inside the Hudson Bomber, there are many opportunities for people to connect with the Memorial while our doors are closed to the public.

“We’re encouraging our online visitors to share their virtual visits with us and the broader community by posting photos and messages on social media – use the hashtag #MuseumAtHome and tag @AWMemorial to have them featured on our website.”
