About this place
What to expect
Experience one of Australia's most significant memorial museums, the Bendigo Military Museum, housed within the striking and architecturally iconic Soldiers Memorial Institute. Through world-class displays, the Bendigo Military Museum commemorates the service and experiences of Central Victorians who served in both World War I and World War II, alongside rotating exhibitions that showcase individual stories and unique collections throughout the year. Step inside to explore a world where every artefact tells a heartfelt story. Feel the weight of a soldier's equipment, hear the roar of gunfire in the trenches, read deeply personal letters sent home, and reflect on the sacrifices our local heroes have made on behalf of their communities for more than a century. The Bendigo Military Museum is a powerful place to connect, learn, and reflect together.
