Tangled Stories, Tangled Destinies at the National Museum

The National Museum of Australia on the Acton Peninsula, Canberra, focuses on Australia's tangled stories and destinies from the days of the Dreamtime to the present day and on to the future. The museum's striking architecture speaks of past and future together.

If you're in Canberra this week, or within convenient driving distance, there's still time to catch Floriade, Canberra's flower festival which closes at the weekend.
