Venue Details
The Shine Dome
Located within The Australian National University
15 Gordon St, Acton ACT 2601

The Australian Academy of Science’s Shine Dome is uniquely Canberra. The dome has been a much-loved feature of the Canberra landscape since its award-winning construction in 1959 and was National Heritage listed 2005. Its modernist fittings and furnishings are timeless and elegant, and its spaces airy and retro-futuristic. Located next to the highly acclaimed New Acton Precinct, the dome is a short walk from four hotels and the Australian National University, and within comfortable walking distance of tourist attractions, cafes, parking and city shops.
