This week, museum staff have been preparing for the Anzac Day activities, which involve the museum's opening immediately after the dawn parade, about 7am, and continuing until 5pm.
Museum staff and Otago Settlers Association volunteers will serve tea and coffee, and provide Anzac biscuits, to about 800 visitors, who are expected flock to the museum after the dawn parade on Monday.
The roll of honour, which is in banner form, commemorates the more than 2500 Dunedin men and women who died in seven wars or other military conflicts last century.
Museum exhibitions team leader Jennifer Evans said the annual museum event had proved popular, offering a warm place for people to meet and talk after the sombre dawn service.
Steve Munro, a museum preparator, said the roll of honour was a sobering reminder of how many Dunedin people had died in wars.
