The National Museum of Australia Forecourt is the open-air event space directly outside the main museum entrance on Acton Peninsula. It is framed by the Christina and Trevor Kennedy Garden and the Museum’s colourful architecture, and is offered for casual outdoor events and performances. The operator lists hire by quotation from 6.30pm but does not publish a separate guest limit for the forecourt. Do not confuse its capacity with the 1,000-person Garden of Australian Dreams or the 1,600-person Lakeside Amphitheatre.
