Dinner at Australia's Square revolving Summit restaurant, sipping cocktails at the Kings Cross Chevron-Hilton, hanging out at a Skyline drive-in...

Mid-twentieth-century Sydneysiders embraced leisure like never before. Leisure Space celebrates the era's architecture, interior design and outdoor spaces designed specifically for popular enjoyment, including landmark buildings such as Qantas House and the Wentworth Hotel.

With stunning images from Max Dupain, David Moore and David Mist, Leisure Space explores this dynamic period in Sydney's history and the dramatic impact of modernism on the city's built environment.
