Sand Castle: The Australian Museum.

The Australian Museum in Sydney is one of the country’s most impressive sandstone colonial buildings and is its oldest Museum, Art Gallery and Library. The neo-classical style of the 1867 College Street Wing was unique to sandstone buildings of its time. It set a precedent for future public buildings such as the General Post Office and the Chief Secretary’s Building. A century later some of the beautiful sandstone carvings were succumbing to Sydney’s aggressive climate. Sand grains had fallen; ensuring public safety was paramount. This film records the conservation approach of the NSW Government’s Centenary Stonework Program.
