Description
The City Gallery presents a free, annual program of exhibitions that draw on the City of Melbourne’s extensive art and heritage collection. Devised by specialist curators, each show explores aspects of the city’s cultural, historical and artistic life. Past exhibitions have featured Melbourne’s much-maligned parking officers, and a focus on the design of those taken for granted items of city street life such as bins, benches and bluestone.

The gallery's central location helps it deliver on its role as a sponge and a mirror to urban life. All you have to come with is a spare fifteen minutes and an inquiring mind.
Supremely central, yet curiously hard to find, the gallery is located within Melbourne Town Hall. It shares an entrance with a half-priced ticket business.
