National Capital Exhibition


A visit to this exhibition should be mandatory for anyone visiting Canberra for the first time, as it gives the essentials in understanding what Canberra represents to the people of Australia, why it is where it is. It reveals that Canberra’s design is deeply symbolic, and interprets the significance of that design and the symbolism contained in it. Without that knowledge, Canberra might appear to be just another modern, well laid out but essentially boring place, to glance at briefly and to say you’ve been, then move on. Through interactive displays, the Exhibition features the people, events, history and design which contributed to the development of this unique city.
