The Australian
When it opens in 2006, the museum - 39,000 sqm of it - will sit on the banks of the Seine, in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower.

One of Branly's most arresting features will be up to 1000sqm of ceiling, straddling three or four storeys, to be designed by handpicked indigenous Australian artists.
