The Johnston Collection

  • Gallery
  • Museum

Located in East Melbourne, the Johnston Collection is the legacy of the late WR Johnston, an antiques dealer with a remarkable eye for beauty.

An independent not-for-profit house-museum, the Johnston Collection features an astonishing array of fine and decorative arts from the Georgian, Regency and Louis XV periods.

The collection curates a regular program of tours, exhibitions, lectures and special events, aimed at increasing the public’s enjoyment and understanding of fine and decorative arts.

Located in a residential area, the Johnston Collection is unable to publish its address due to the terms of its planning permit. Therefore all visitors must arrive via the museum’s courtesy bus. All tickets to the Johnston Collection must be pre-booked prior to arrival. For bookings and further information, visit the website.

The City of Melbourne respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the land we govern, the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung and Bunurong Boon Wurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin and pays respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

We acknowledge and honour the unbroken spiritual, cultural and political connection the Wurundjeri, Bunurong, Dja Dja Wurrung, Taungurung and Wadawurrung peoples of the Eastern Kulin have to this unique place for more than 2000 generations.

We are committed to our reconciliation journey, because at its heart, reconciliation is about strengthening relationships between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal peoples, for the benefit of all Victorians.
