At the top of the list are the Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes exhibition at the National Museum of Australia (NMA) and the Australians & Hollywood exhibition at the National Film and Sound Archive of Australia (NFSA).

Best of all, Accor is chipping in with exciting travel packages offering accommodation plus discounted entry into these major exhibitions for those visiting Canberra.

Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes

The NMA is celebrating all things Ancient Greece until 1 May 2022. The Ancient Greeks: Athletes, Warriors and Heroes exhibition explores competition through sport, politics, drama, music and warfare, illuminated by more than 170 objects from the British Museum.

Explore and celebrate the birthplace of the modern world by visiting the exhibition, taking an audio tour, or attending special events including the Agora Creek cultural festival and performances by Luka Lesson of Agapi & Other Kings of Love.

If you’re visiting Canberra, you can take advantage of Accor’s Ancient Greeks accommodation package which includes overnight accommodation, daily breakfast and tickets to the exhibition.
