Canberra is the capital of Australia , in which all conditions for a comfortable and full rest are created. Despite the fact that the main highlight of this country can be called national parks and beaches , there are many cultural and educational centers. One of them is the museum and art gallery of Canberra.
More about the museum
The Canberra Museum and Art Gallery is a relatively young institution. It is part of the Corporation for Cultural Objects, which was established by the Australian Government. When it was created, the only goal was to protect the country's cultural heritage. That is why it is the venue for various exhibitions, public and educational programs. Specialists of the museum and the art gallery collect, preserve and popularize the cultural heritage of Canberra and Australia as a whole.
The institution was founded on February 13, 1998.
Exposition of the museum and the picture gallery
This museum and art gallery has a large collection of works of art that, one way or another, relate to the history of Canberra and its environs. In total for the first 5 years since the opening in this institution, 158 exhibitions have been held. On February 14, 2001, the exposition "Reflection of Canberra" was opened here, which is currently permanent. In addition, temporary exhibitions are held in the cultural center.
