National Capital Exhibition
The National Capital Exhibition at Regatta Point tells the Story of Canberra as the capital city of Australia.
Canberra is unique in design and innovative in the history of town planning by being the result of a worldwide competition. The winners of that competition, Walter and Marion Griffin, presented a design where the built and the natural landscapes have equal importance. They designed a city that fits in between landmarks and remains in scale with humans.
Come and learn more about of your National Capital including through the exhibition:
- A scale model of the city with a sound and light show
