One of the biggest tourist attractions it has Australia is its National Museum, which is in Canberra and that offers you a spectacular and broad vision of the country's history. In it you can discover all the details of the colonization of this territory and all the stages and cultures that have lived there over the years. In 2005 and 2006 it was named the biggest tourist attraction in Australia.
The Australian National Museum It is on the Acton Peninsula, next to the beautiful Buerley Griffin Lake. In it you can see several exhibitions, where those that show the 50,000 years of indigenous heritage or various curiosities about the "bushrangers", who were the fugitive pioneers of this country, stand out. You will also find exhibitions on the national lifeguard corps, very important throughout the country as it has thousands of kilometers of coastline.
The exterior architecture is impressive, with a play of colored lights and a truly original design. Each space is organized and developed according to the history of the country but joining them all together, something undoubtedly fantastic and very striking. Here there are not only exhibitions but it is also the main cultural center of the city, and you can see various cultural events such as the presentation of books, magazines or catalogs.
Without a doubt one of the most interesting places you can discover during your trip to Australia, especially if you are going to be in Canberra. The ideal is to be able to dedicate a whole day to being able to soak up all your culture and see everything with ease. For my taste, it is the most beautiful building in the whole country along with the famous Sydney Opera House, undoubtedly one of the great Australian symbols.
