                  <text>This Collection illustrates how medievalism has always existed â€˜in plain viewâ€™ in Australian public life, as a conspicuous cultural memory ghosting Australiaâ€™s modernity. It focuses on discourses about, debates over, and changing interpretations of i) Australiaâ€™s medievalist political and religious institutions and rituals, ii) its architecture, and iii) its civic environment. In this Collection are items relating to all three of these key areas. Firstly, you will find items that point to the medieval influences and inflections that still permeate and influence our political, legal and religious institutions and traditions. Secondly, you will find numerous examples of neo-gothic and neo-romanesque architecture, and some cases where architectural features are known to have been modelled on specific medieval buildings. Thirdly, you will find items relating to the ways in which medievalism is incorporated into our civic environments and expressed through statues, monuments and war memorials.</text>

                <text>&lt;p&gt;This Australian Mutual Provident Society building is in the centre of the Tasmanian city of Launceston. It was designed by local architects Lesley Gordon Corrie (1859-1918) and Alexander North (1858-1945) and built by J. and T. Gunn. It opened in 1892. An anonymous&amp;nbsp;report in the Launceston Examiner newspaper (November 19, 1892) gives the particulars of the building, which is described as being in the Florentine Romanesque style. Romanesque features of the stone building include the semi-circular window arches with molding and decorated columns on the upper floor, the semi-circular arch above the company monogram, the use of foliage motifs, and the frieze above the entrance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
&lt;p&gt;Florence has a number of extant Romanesque buildings built between the eleventh and thirteenth centuries. The buildings provided inspiration for some of the Florentine architects of the Renaissance.&lt;/p&gt;&#13;
