Frank Hinder’s Star Ceiling

A tiled ceiling of mosaic glass by the abstract artist Frank Hinder (1906-1992) defines the City Walk entry to Monaro Mall. Star Ceiling (1963) is one of the most subtle artworks in Canberra’s city centre, visible only to people who take time to look up from their busy lives, to appreciate a remarkable blend of form, tone and colour.

DESIGN Canberra acknowledges the Ngunnawal people as the traditional custodians of the ACT and surrounding areas. We honour and respect their ongoing cultural and spiritual connections to this country and the contribution they make to the life of this city and this region. We aim to respect cultural heritage, customs and beliefs of all Indigenous people.
