It is a key part of the **Canberra and Region Visitors Centre**, showcasing how Canberra was planned and developed, featuring displays on the city’s architects, including Walter Burley Griffin, and the decisions that shaped its layout.
The exhibition features interactive displays, scale models, and audiovisual presentations that explain the significance of Canberra as Australia’s political and administrative hub. It highlights the importance of national institutions and landmarks, such as Parliament House, and provides insights into the early planning of Canberra as a “garden city” with unique geometry and design concepts.
