Albury’s new library and museum is a striking example of contemporary design that you rarely see outside the major cities.

While many locals will probably flip out and say it is crazy, I think it is a fantastic building and I’m glad the council had the guts to go with something so bold and original, especially since a library and museum is such an important cultural asset for the local area.

Unfortunately the building fences were still up when I visited, and got in the way of my photo taking, but it opens on Friday and looks really cool.
