The National Museum of Australia explores the land, nation and people of Australia. The Museum celebrates Australian social history in a unique way by revealing the stories of ordinary and extraordinary Australians, promoting the exploration of knowledge and ideas and providing a dynamic forum for discussion and reflection.
The Museum building itself is anti-monumental, compelling and controversial. With 6600 square metres of permanent and temporary exhibition space, it is a visual feast, characterised by vivid colours, unexpected shapes and angles, and textures that are not seen in any other Australian national buildings.
