Every object tells a tale, and many of Australia's most treasured possessions can be found in Canberra: now, these amazing artifacts and the stories behind them will be highlighted in this new book produced as part of the Centenary celebrations.

No one knows their way around the capital's great collections better than Betty Churcher AO, former Director of the National Gallery of Australia and one of Australia’s most loved cultural authorities.

Paintings, drawings, maps and prints are featured alongside monuments, historic documents, relics, books and specimens; each object provides a valuable insight into the past and offers an opportunity for reflection on the history and development of our national identity.

Treasures have been sourced from major national and local institutions, including the National Gallery of Australia, National Library of Australia, National Museum of Australia, National Portrait Gallery, National Archives of Australia, Australian War Memorial, Australian National University, Canberra Museum and Gallery and the Noel Butlin Archives.

This book will be a personal showcase of some of the most loved and most precious items selected by Ms Churcher from Canberra’s glorious array of cultural riches.
