National Museum of Australia

Canberra, Australia

The National Museum of Australia combines cutting-edge exhibit techniques, new media technologies, and live performances within dynamic architectural and landscape spaces to create a unique visitor experience. The new museum addresses the diversity of Australian society and the relationship between people and the environment. It celebrates the nation's achievement and what it means to be Australian.

A sophisticated media and communications center allows the museum to exchange information with schools, museums, and institutions worldwide. This technology changed the standards of information accessibility and collaboration for museums in the early 21st Century. The Museum opened to recognize Australia’s Centenary of Federation.
