Walsh Street Guided Tour

  • Tour
  • Events

The Walsh Street Guided Tours provide unparalleled insight into Robin Boyd – from his family background, influences, the design of the house, his critical works and lasting legacy. Guests are then welcome to roam Walsh Street and enjoy the truly unique experience.

The iconic residence at 290 Walsh Street that Boyd designed for his family in 1957 is an exemplar of Australian modernist architecture. As one of Australia’s foremost mid-century architects and innovators, Boyd continues to have a meaningful influence on design thinking today.

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.
