National Museum of Australia

On Ngunnawal, Ngunawal and Ngambri country beside Lake Burley Griffin, the National Museum holds the objects Australia has used to understand itself — First Nations histories, immigration stories, political moments. Entry is free, though some special exhibitions cost extra. The building itself is worth the visit; the collection makes the case for Canberra as a destination rather than an obligation.
