A striking exhibition celebrating the work of John Horbury Hunt (1838–1904).

Canadian born, Boston trained architect John Horbury Hunt arrived in Sydney in 1863. For the next 40 years was renowned for the distinctive and radical architecture he introduced to Sydney and surrounding New South Wales.

Exhibition curator Joy Hughes says Hunt brought about a revolution in Australian architecture and was responsible for some of its most powerful and austere landmarks including the Convent of the Sacred Heart at Rose Bay (Pia Miranda's school in the Australian film Looking for Alibrandi), St Peter's Cathedral and Boolloominbah in Armidale, and Tivoli at Rose Bay, Sydney which has been occupied by private girls' school Kambala since 1913.
