Gallery
ANU School of Art & Design Gallery
The public gallery of the ANU School of Art & Design, on the Acton campus. Its annual program runs graduate and postgraduate work alongside touring shows and prize exhibitions — the JamFactory ICON survey and the FUSE Glass Prize have both shown here — drawing on the school's studio workshops and the Centre for Art History and Art Theory. A foyer Project Space carries experimental, teaching-led displays. Free entry.
Botanical Garden
National Arboretum Canberra
Two hundred and fifty hectares of rare and endangered trees arranged in monocultural forests — each species given its own stand — make this the only arboretum of its kind at this scale anywhere. Opened in 2013, it also holds the National Bonsai and Penjing Collection. The views across the Molonglo Valley are a reasonable excuse to visit on their own.
