Melbourne Open House [01.10.2008]

Melbourne Open House is a free of charge event giving Melburnians and visitors to the city a rare opportunity to discover the often hidden and hard to access public and private buildings and spaces nestled in and around the city.

The inaugural event was held on 20 July 2008, with more than 30,000 visits to 8 buildings. The second Melbourne Open House, held on 19 July 2009, grew to 32 buildings and almost 51,000 visits. The program in year two also expanded to include a speaker series at Federation Square and a photography competition. The event was held in association with the State of Design Festival.

The 2010 program will run over the weekend of 24-25 July and will see over 60 buildings open to the public.

Melbourne Open House is now an incorporated not-for-profit association. The group is in the process of seeking ongoing sponsorship and a major partner to ensure its ongoing success.

Some members of the group will remain on a Board to oversee the continuation of the project.
