A Canberra plus

One thing that Canberra has going for it is the new National Portrait Gallery. The building itself is elegant and fits well into the landscape, and the internal structures work very well ... except they need more exit signs so you can find your way out.

There are arguments about whether portraits are really art. I think that the paintings in the Australian National Portrait Gallery are interesting and vibrant and strongly support the argument that portraits can indeed be art.

The National Portrait Gallery is definitely worth a visit.
