A rarely seen tapestry by the great Swiss-French architect Le Corbusier has been put on public display for the first time at Parliament House in Canberra.
Le Corbusier's La femme et le marechal ferrant (The Woman and the Blacksmith) was a gift from France to mark the opening of Parliament House in 1988.
It usually hangs in a stairwell in the ministerial wing, viewed only by government ministers, staffers, and those who have business with them.
