Explore the inside of the iconic National Carillon, Canberra’s most photographed building. One of our carillonists will lead you through the building, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the instrument and even have a chance play some of the largest bells in Australia.
Learn about the rich history and striking architecture of this heritage-listed building. Touch the bronze bells, try the carillon keyboard, and enjoy a live musical demonstration – all while appreciating one of the best views in Canberra.
