Description An account of the resource The Royal Exhibition Building is large and primarily rectangular. The anterior side of the building is the most compressed. A large vault towers above the entrance doors. Two dome-like structures jut out from the top of the vault, giving it a castle-like appearance. The large dome stands proudly on the building. Two massive wings stretch both sides of the building, housing massive corridors. Inside the corridors are various pillars, designs, and works of art. Most of the building’s design language takes inspiration from Roman, Byzantine, and Italian structures. The posterior side of the building houses a smaller, shorter corridor that faces out toward another building. The primary color of the building is white with blueish-green domes and roofing, giving it a striking look. This building's primary purpose is to exhibit the various scientific, artistic, and educational displays during the two primary international exhibitions held there. Though the building itself was also designed to be displayed. It was made to show off Australia on the world stage. Bibliographic Citation A bibliographic reference for the resource.
