The National Capital Exhibition tells the story and dreams of the creation of Canberra. Using interactive displays, audio-visual demonstrations and a laser-lit model of the city, you are taken on a tour from Aboriginal history, through pioneer European settlement, to the controversial selection of the site and Walter Burley Griffin's city design. Finally, you will witness Canberra's evolution into a beautiful, landscaped city. Also exhibited are original competition designs for Canberra, early maps and rare photographs, and, in the forecourt, a new striking terrazzo creation depicting Burley Griffin's 1912 award-winning design.
