The Johnston Collection

The Johnston Collection is temporarily closed due to COVID-19 restrictions.

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. For bookings and further information, visit the website.
