Royal Exhibition Building

The Royal Exhibition Building was designed by David Mitchell, father of the opera singer Dame Nellie Melba, for the 1880 international exhibition. It was then the city's largest building, and with its 60m high dome is still one of Melbourne's principal landmarks. The Victorian Parliament met here from 1901 to 1927 while the Houses of Parliament were occupied by the Commonwealth Parliament.
