Museums and libraries 

Melbourne’s museums fascinate, educate and bring to life the city’s history and spirit.

Enjoy Melbourne’s story through multimedia, art and exhibits at the City Museum. Or see how cultural communities have shaped the city at The Immigration Museum and Chinese Museum.

Racehorse Phar Lap and the Bunjilaka Aboriginal Cultural Centre star at the Melbourne Museum, while bookworms love the State Library of Victoria – home to rare books, bushranger Ned Kelly’s armour and Mr Tulk, the Library’s own onsite café named in honour of it’s first chief librarian.
