What's On in Canberra
Archival screenings, small-scale permanent displays and temporary audiovisual art and installations are all available to explore in our beautiful Art Deco building – one of Canberra’s architectural treasures.
Our cinema operates Thursday to Sunday and offers a diverse range of movies new and old, drama and doco, cult, classic and curious.
Dom’s deli & bar is open during the day serving excellent coffee and treats including “Canberra’s best toasted sandwiches” that can be enjoyed in our splendid heritage courtyard.
