In 2002, Federation Square was opened to commemorate 100 years of the federation and it also divided Melburnians. There were those who loved it as well as those who hated it. Since then this place has become an integral part of Melbourne and a great tourist attraction. The ultra-modern design of the building of open and closed spaces contrasts with the surrounding Victorian architecture. With more than 2,000 annual events, entertainment can always be found in the central outdoor performance space and intimate indoor venues. Federation Square also houses the Ian Potter Centre: NGV Australia which is dedicated to Australian art, and the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI). More commonly called "Fed Square," it is also one of the largest free Wi-Fi sites in Australia. The vibrant and magnificent center of Melbourne is linked to the magnificent Yarra River. The Federation Square has also hosted many world-class events.
