ZZAustralian Heritage Festival - Melbourne Athenaeum Event
About
The Athenaeum Library turns 185 this year – have you ever been?Archivist, Fiona Moore, will present a lively and interactive discussion about the role the Ath has played in the cultural life of Melbourne since 1839.
The building at 188 Collins St housed Melbourne’s first museum, library and gallery and the first meetings of the City Council.
For the past century, two much-loved theatres have entertained audiences and provided opportunities for a range of Australian musicians, actors, performers and technicians. Our beloved library has provided members and visitors with a historic setting and a vibrant collection across the 185 years. Music performances in the library and artists and playwright residencies have boosted careers and profiles.
Across these cultural, literary and artistic pursuits, our archival collections tell lots of tales – come along and hear them!
