Art Melbourne?     Where's that?



Art Melbourne is always held in the stunningly.... gorgeously.... beautiful Royal Exhibition Buildings

in the Carlton Gardens, Melbourne.





Original lithograph, 1880

....UNESCO World Heritage listed, and completed in 1880....nine years prior to the Eiffel Tower in Paris.... 

these buildings add a reverence and astonishing sense of history to any exhibition held here.


....just being within these walls and beneath these murals is both uplifting and humbling....


go along and see for yourself.


you'll find yourself gazing up at the soaring girders and domes as much as forward into the colourful walls of the gallery exhibits!
