Government House: Open House

Government House Victoria invites you to join for their July open day as part of the Open House Melbourne Weekend.

Victoria’s Government House, built between 1872 and 1876, is recognised for having historical, architectural, and aesthetic significance to the state.

Guests are invited to take a self-guided tour of the State Apartments, comprising the State Hall, State Drawing Room, State Dining Room, and the magnificent Ballroom. Guests will have an opportunity to learn about the historical and contemporary use of the house, and the role of the Governor in our constitutional democracy.

Please note that Government House Victoria is only open on Saturday 25 July. No bookings required. Tour group capacity is limited and operates on a first-come, first-served basis.
