Architectus has been appointed to design the new National Vietnam Veterans Museum, Australia’s only national museum dedicated to the stories and contributions of these soldiers and veterans.
The museum will be a place where visitors can reflect on and connect with a significant chapter in our history through a collection of objects, thoughtfully displayed within a purpose-built home on Phillip Island in southeastern Victoria.
Displays conveying the experiences of veterans
A large object display will be a major drawcard of the main exhibition space. Its showcase of restored aircraft and vehicles will include the Canberra Bomber and a Huey Helicopter.
The experiences of Australian Vietnam Veterans will also be shared through through displays of significant memorial items and personal effects.
Integrated within the site and overlooking existing wetlands, the building will Incorporate indoor and outdoor amenities for visitors including commemorative spaces and retail and food offerings.
This precinct will be designed to attract local, interstate and international visitors by offering an educational and enriching experience.
