Jas A Munro, an Entrepreneur of Early Melbourne

The original blue-stone building at Elizabeth and Therry Streets still stands as a reminder of the legacy of Jas Munro, a visionary entrepreneur around the time of World War One, who built one of Melbourne’s largest garages here, shaping the city’s automotive landscape for over a century.

Join us for a special talk by Ian Berg, who has meticulously researched the Munro archives for his book, Jas A Munro: The Largest Garage in Melbourne. Discover the fascinating story of Munro’s impact on motoring, manufacturing, and Melbourne’s urban development.

Bookings open Sunday 13 April.
