Additional Information
Introduction
The Royal Exhibition Building, the only Australian architecture listed on the United Nations World Heritage, was designed for international exhibitions held in Melbourne from 1880 to 1888. The building, with its overall Byzantine style, incorporates Italian Renaissance architectural elements. This important cultural landmark survived in the 1960s, when many people suggested it be dismantled because of years of erosion, and later voted down the proposal by the margin of one vote.

Interesting venue for various performances/conferences throughout the year. We participated in the'Animaga' with many years of experience in August and the vegetarian market in 2019. This is a comfortable place suitable for the times: good facilities and climate, but when more than 3000 people show up, the noise makes it difficult to talk with others due to the sound barrier created in the space. Stylish, quirky, well-maintained venue.
This is the oldest existing building since the World Expo era. It was built in 1880 and hosted the first Australian Federal Parliament in 1901. This magnificent building and the complex of buildings in its charming garden is an amazing part of Melbourne's history. Today it still holds many exhibitions. If you like grand buildings, you will like them.
Most of the time, it is free and open. The traffic is convenient in all directions on the edge of City. The content of the exhibition changes with the time, but the royal style and unique charm remain unchanged.
The building in Carlton Gardens, under the shade of a pile of trees, does not seem to be very majestic Walking to the front of the building, the huge dome-style building is symmetrical, giving people a solemn and energetic effect The exhibition hall is always in the stage of maintenance, so most of the time it also provides a background board feeling for the garden at the entrance.
