The Garden Palace, an imposing, specially constructed building in the Domain, Sydney, housed Australia's first international trade exhibition in 1879. Following the exhibition it was intended the building would serve as a museum. Before this plan was realised however, the Garden Palace was destroyed by fire in 1882.
