Canberra - High Court of Australia

Adjoining the National Gallery and similar in style is the imposing High Court of Australia, opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1980. The main entrance, in front of which are fountains, leads into the 24 m high Great Hall, from which ramps lead up to the courts. The floor is paved with Carrara marble; the walls are of bullet-proof glass. The north and west walls have mural paintings by Jan Senberg (six panels on each wall).
