OutInCanberra, in conjunction with the National Museum of Australia, is giving you the opportunity to win a prize pack to celebrate their current exhibition: Glorious Days: Australia 1913.
From the exhibition’s website:
Step back in time to Glorious Days: Australia 1913. Immerse yourself in a time of tremendous optimism, when Australians took pride in their distinctive culture, high standard of living and sporting prowess.
In the year 1913 Australians saw their new nation as progressive and free to make its own future in the world.
The new capital, Canberra, was the expression of a national dream and the year culminated in the arrival in Sydney Harbour of Australia’s own navy.
1913 has been described as a ‘hinge year’, when people embraced the modern world of automobiles, aeroplanes, rollerskating and cinema, although attitudes and prejudices from the past persisted.
Glorious Days features beautiful artworks, costume, music and newsreel footage from Australia a century ago.
Take the opportunity to look back 100 years, and ask yourself: how much has changed, and what has stayed the same?
The Glorious Days prize pack includes:
2 x Adult Glorious Days tickets
2 x Glorious Days mugs
1 x Glorious Days exhibition catalogue, and
1 x the Museum magazine
To be in with a chance to win, simply answer the following question:
Who announced that ‘Canberra’ was to be the name of the new federal capital city in 1913?
Entries close 1.00pm on 13 September 2013
This exhibition is on show at the National Museum of Australia, Canberra until 13 October 2013. Costs apply. Visit www.nma.gov.au for more information.
