National Museum of Australia: Guarding History and Looking to the Future

The National Museum of Australia is located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin in the capital city of Canberra. It is like a shining star on an island and is famous for its stunning, milestone architecture. The exterior and interior are boldly colored in a variety of colors. The exterior is a vibrant palette of deep red, orange, bronze, gold, black, and silver, as dazzling as the brilliant Australian sunshine. The colors are at the core of conveying the Australian story. Upon entering the museum, the hall is a well-lit open space with curved walls, windows, and ceilings. From the inside, it looks like a huge knot, a metaphor for the ties that bind Australians together and intertwine the lives and stories of Australia and Australians. The National Museum of Australia is a museum with a social history theme, introducing the history and culture of the Australian Aboriginal people, the history of European immigration, and the interaction between Australians and the environment.
