The Australian National Museum is considered one of the world's most unique architectural designs. Designed by Australian architect Howard Raggatt, it draws inspiration from the playful tangram puzzle, brilliantly showcasing Australia's captivating history and culture through its design.

While the exterior is striking enough, the museum's contents are equally impressive. In the Landmarks Gallery, you can see fascinating exhibits like the preserved heart of the legendary racehorse Phar Lap, a rare Tasmanian Tiger specimen, and commemorative coins carved by British convicts who were transported to Australia.
