National Museum of Australia Launches Two New Galleries

Lawson Cres, Acton ACT 2601

The National Museum of Australia in Canberra, a beacon for educational excursions, has undergone its first significant refurbishment in two decades, unveiling two new galleries: the Great Southern Land and the Children’s Discovery Centre. Welcoming over a million visitors annually, these new spaces mark a rejuvenation of nearly a third of the museum's area.

For this extensive public space, Spectrum Lava flooring was selected to meet the rigorous demands of durability, safety, acoustics, and environmental sustainability. The Lava flooring, notable for its uncoated, embossed surface that mimics stone, is GECA certified and comes with an R10 slip rating. Available in six nature-inspired colours, it perfectly complements the museum's aesthetic. ARM Architecture played a pivotal role in this transformative project, ensuring every design element aligns with the museum's mission and visitor experience.
