Architectural gems such as Flinders Street Station, with its iconic yellow facade and green dome, and the futuristic art gallery Federation Square, reflect the city's mix of history and modernity. Melbourne is often called Australia's cultural capital. Home to the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and a vibrant music and theatre scene, events such as the Melbourne International Arts Festival and White Night attract art lovers from around the world.
