Open House Melbourne 2014

Overview

Walk the halls of the State Supreme Court, say a prayer at the Albanian Mosque on Lygon Street, or take a peek behind the curtain at the Circus Oz headquarters in Collingwood. They're just three of the buildings on the Open House Melbourne program.

On the weekend of July 26, more than 100 buildings, large and small, old and new, will open their doors to the public. The event is designed to showcase the architectural history and diversity of the city, with a particular focus on sustainable design.

Select sites will also offer free guided tours, providing visitors with insight not just about a given building but about the work that happens inside. So, for example, you could learn about cancer research at the Peter McCallum Institute, and then pick yourself up with a visit to the Lego Education Centre.
