Some buildings are more than just walls and offices. At ANU, few inspire as much intrigue as Coombs. As ANU celebrates 80 years of discovery, join the ANU Society for Arts and Social Sciences for a self-paced scavenger hunt through the maze-like hallways of the legendary Coombs Building, home to generations of researchers and scholars and headquarters of the ANU School of Culture, History & Language and the ANU College of Asia and the Pacific.

Explore the labyrinth where priceless stories of Asia and the Pacific linger on the walls. Come along anytime between 11am and 2pm on Wednesday 23 September, starting at the main entrance foyer, and who knows? There may be a little prize in store at the end of your expedition!

This event, hosted by the ANU School of Culture, History & Language for its flagship annual festival, Immersia, is in collaboration with the ANU Society for Arts and Social Sciences.
