The Royal Exhibition Building is a World Heritage Site-listed building in Melbourne, Australia, completed in 1880.
This is one of the most amazing old Buildings I have ever seen.
It was built to host the Melbourne International Exhibition in 1880-1881 and later hosted the opening of the first Parliament of Australia in 1901.

It received restoration throughout the 1990s and in 2004 became the first building in Australia to be awarded UNESCO World Heritage status, being one of the last remaining major 19th century exhibition buildings in the world.
