Fodor's Review:
The library, constructed loosely on the design of the Parthenon in Athens, houses more than 5 million books and 500,000 aerial photographs, maps, drawings, and recordings of oral history. Changing exhibitions of old Australian photos, manuscripts, and art are displayed in the ground-floor gallery. One-hour behind-the-scenes tours take place Tuesday at 12:30.
