New Cold War galleries open at the Memorial 

From the dawn of the nuclear age with the dropping of atomic bombs over Japan to the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the new gallery takes visitors on a journey through the Cold War that dominated world politics in the second half of the 20th century.
Alongside displays on Australia’s involvement in major conflicts, the gallery explores National Service, our first peacekeeping operation in 1947, the blockade of Berlin, and British atomic testing in Australia.
Formerly known as Conflicts 1945 to Today, galleries featuring the Korean War, Vietnam War, Malayan Emergency and Indonesian Confrontation have been renewed, placing these conflicts within the wider perspective of the Cold War.
