National Capital Exhibition
The National Capital Exhibition tells the Story of Canberra as the capital city of Australia. It has displays featuring the people, events, history and design of this unique, modern, planned city, and the people behind the design – Walter Burley Griffin and his wife Marion. I enjoyed the scale model of the national area of Canberra, including a projected presentation.
