National Library of Australia: Behind the scenes - 29 April

David Priddle from our Capital Works team took us for an in depth look at the Library.

We unearthed stories of its architectural style, history, and the current restoration projects of this remarkable building.

This tour departed from the foyer and entry was free, though it was limited to 15 places and booking were essential. 

This tour is also taking place on 2 May 2025.
