The Australian War Memorial in Canberra has a Memorial Building designed by Emil Sodersten and John Crust, and Denton Corker Marshall designed the later Administration Building, ANZAC Hall and CEW Bean Building. The Commonwealth Government is the client. The infobox gives 1925 as established and 1941 as unveiled, while the text says the design was finalized in 1936 and the building opened on November 11, 1941.
The article calls the style Art Deco with Byzantine and Egyptian motifs. It mentions sandstone courtyard carvings, Italian glass mosaics and a 6.5-tonne Stone of Remembrance. The site covers about 35 acres (14 hectares).
The Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier was installed in 1993 and a sculpture garden opened in 1999. It is a national war memorial, museum and archive. It is open daily except Christmas Day, with the Last Post ceremony nightly at 4:45 p.m.
