And what a roof it is too!
Ooh that’s what I was going to say!
Loving these museum roofs you are sharing Jude.
Thank you both! I seem to have a phenomenal amount of roofs in my archives. I’m trying to pick out the more unusual ones.
😊
I thought you lot would be ‘roofed-out’ by now. Another stunner, Jude!
Best wishes, Pete. x
I seem to take a lot of photos of roofs too Pete!
Interesting design! Most eye-catching….
Inside is pretty good too. Many people dismiss Canberra as a political city, but I love the lakeside walks and the free museums. The city centre is perhaps a little tatty now though.
When were you last there?
End of 2014 – eldest granddaughter lives there still.
Oh, not that long ago, then…
Not really. I think the city centre was actually nicer about 20 years ago.
We could say that about a few places….
True!
😊
Try fifty years ago! Then the centre was all it was. Now I rather like its squares and trees with deep shade -and still the carousel.
On my last visit it was rainy and the centre full of roadworks and too many people, too many fast food stores plus I had sciatica and that makes me awfully grumpy!
How much physical well-being contributes to our perceptions. May sciatica never strike you again!
Cross fingers!
Interesting one this time Jude. Is that Braille on the tiles?
“Textures range from the smooth finish of the anodised aluminium panels that clad much of the building to the deeply patterned moulded concrete surface of the western section. Some of the raised dimples and sunken holes are words written in braille.” (from the museum website)
Ooh lovely red and I like those warm metal? colours as well, what a great roof.
It’s a pretty great museum too. Very interesting.
I like a dash of modern. 🙂 🙂
Yes, definitely modern – it’s very quirky.
