Built in 1880 as a home for the Great Exhibition, this stunning architecture is one of Australia's oldest remaining exhibition pavilions. The Commonwealth parliament were seated in the building from 1901, and today it is still known for its impressive galleries, meticulously restored interior and huge towering dome. These days, this World Heritage listed building is still used for purposes similar to its initial reason for construction, including trade shows, community events and cultural displays. When not hosting events, tours are available of the building.
