The story of the conception of the National Gallery of Australia building – its design, construction and controversial aftermath – has all the qualities of a Promethean struggle. Planned in the open-minded 1970s but birthed in the more conventional 1980s, the National Gallery building has not always been understood or embraced. This title is a celebration of this significant landmark in the history of Australian architecture, exploring the gallery in its entirety.
