Fodor's Review:

Photographs, plans, audiovisual displays, and a laser model inside this lakeside pavilion illustrate the past, present, and future development of the national capital. Exhibits cover the time of the early settlers, Walter Burley Griffin's winning design for Canberra, and city plans for the coming decades. From the pavilion's terrace there are sweeping views of the Parliamentary Triangle across the lake: the National Library on the right and the National Gallery on the left form the base of the Parliamentary Triangle, which rises toward its apex at Parliament House on Capital Hill. The restaurant and kiosk on the terrace serve full meals and light snacks.

Cost: Free
Open: Daily 9-5
