The Waterfront Pavilion of the Australian National Maritime Museum at Darling Harbour. It showcases the danger and drama of military life at sea, through a high-tech exhibition and also has function areas looking out on the harbour. It was opened in 2015 to mark the centenary of World War I and commemorate over 100 years of service by the Royal Australian Navy. The MB172 is an elegant timber motor boat which once ferried naval officers but now transports museum staff and guests on Sydney Harbour. It was built by the Royal Australian Navy at Garden Island dockyard and worked mostly on on Port Phillip and later Jervis Bay.
very nice architecture.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully designed. The sense of flowing to it works well.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of waves of water.
DeleteI loved what you said last time: "The Australian National Maritime Museum was designed by Phillip Cox and opened in 1991. The museum houses exhibitions that explore Australia's links with the sea and how maritime activities have shaped the lives of people in Australia". I am much less interested in the danger and drama of military life at sea.
