The hot and arid climate has dictated a lot of the fashion trends in Australia, and due to the sun's intense rays, hats are often worn by Australians. School children are required to wear sunhats as part of their school uniform, but they are also worn by adults.
The Potala Palace in Lhasa, Tibet, with 1000 rooms on 13 levels, and over 130,000 square meters of floor space, is one of the largest palaces in the world by floor area. It was the winter residence of the Dalai Lama until 1959. (Many sources, e.g. give the area as 360,000 square meters.)
This expansion, which completed the museum's occupancy of the palace complex, added 230,000 square feet (21,390 sq meters) to the existing 325,000 square feet (30,225 sq meters) of exhibition space, and allowed it to put an additional 12,000 works of art on display in 165 new rooms.
