Melbourne Town Hall

  • Heritage listed
  • Landmark

Completed in 1870, the Melbourne Town Hall is at the heart of the city’s cultural and civic activity - many of the decisions that have helped shape Melbourne were made within this heritage-listed building.

A mix of bluestone and Tasmanian freestone, the classically designed building features fine masonry, a clock tower, grand council chambers, a large auditorium with a grand organ, and an impressive portico most notable for being the spot where the Beatles waved to crowds in 1964.

A fire in 1925 led to the auditorium being remodelled and enlarged, and in 2001, the auditorium’s grand organ underwent an extensive refurbishment and now contains drums, bells, and almost eight thousand pipes across three levels.

Please note that tours of the Melbourne Town Hall are currently not running due to COVID-19 restrictions.
