Art and Heritage Collection Tour

Take a free guided tour of the City of Melbourne's Art and Heritage Collection store, located in the historic and iconic Melbourne Town Hall.

All 16 rooms across the entire fourth floor have been refurbished as an open display collection ready for the public to discover.

The collection is eclectic, numbering over 13,000 items and including over 170 outdoor artworks in the streets and parks of Melbourne. Its most basic division is between its indoor and outdoor components, between artworks that need to be protected from the elements and those that do not.

Objects on display in the collection fall into nine categories.
- Moomba/Olympics / public art / street art
- Managing our city
- Melbourne photography
- First Nations artists
- Books and plans
- Miscellaneous Melbourne
- Council and ceremonial
- City gifts
- Reliquary
