MODERN TIMES

We went to an exhibition at the Powerhouse Museum called Modern Times - the Untold Story of Modernism in Australia.

They were things like the Gazebo Building, El Alamein Fountain, the Metro Theatre and Cafe, and the Coca Cola sign. I think my favourite is the Gazebo Building, and that's not even because of the oh-so-cute Gazebo Wine Garden on the ground floor...
