Anzac Memorial

126 Elizabeth St, Sydney NSW 2000

Art Deco war memorial with a sunken Well of Contemplation and a dome honoring the fallen.

This guide to Sydney's Anzac Memorial follows architect Bruce Dellit and sculptor Rayner Hoff designing a Great War monument like no other, and the storm that met it: when Hoff's planned bronze reliefs, including a nude figure for one of the memorial's great windows, went on public show in 1932, church leaders and architects condemned them as indecent. It traces the fight over what Sydney's memorial to its war dead was allowed to depict. Look up at the dome as you listen.
