National Portrait Gallery

The National Portrait Gallery in Canberra, Australia's national Capital, opened in 2008 and won an architectural award in 2009. I gather it attracts about half a million visitors yearly.
Explored.

Striking perspective. I see Australia doesn't have the self-esteem problem Canada does. The sign at the National Gallery in Ottawa says "National Gallery of Canada", as if some other country might have its national gallery there. I suspect it means "Only the National Gallery of Canada", but it's a brilliant piece of architecture and the collection effectively demonstrates the differences between Canadian painting and other countries'.

Sadly, the 'Concrete Brutalism' style was very favoured here in recent years, Pam. You're right though, the interior is much better.

I can like this style of architecture if I am in a certain mood and if the light is just right (therefore not often). Otherwise I find this style a bore. Fine shot though!
