University House is the ceremonial heart of the Australian National University. It has been home to generations of postgraduate students and eminent visitors; it hosts honorary degree ceremonies, academic seminars, public lectures, lively policy debates, media events, cocktail parties, weddings and wakes. It is a unique institution on the grounds of Australia's leading university that incorporates a hotel, function centre and restaurants. It is still home to many of ANU's research students. Sprinkled throughout the interior and grounds of University House are eye-catching works of art and sculptures.
