The National Portrait Gallery is sited in the Parliamentary Triangle. Won through open international competition in late 2005, the building provides exhibition space for approximately 500 portraits in a simple configuration of day-lit galleries.
The building responds to its site by connecting key vistas, levels and alignments around the precinct. Five fingers of space, arranged perpendicular to the Land Axis, refer to Griffin’s early planning concepts for the National Capital.
