Australian Music Vault

“This place is hidden but worth going in to see the displays. It’s free of charge and has a selection of memorabilia and history surrounding Australia main stream music. It is in the Arts Centre in Melbourne and staff can happily show you where it is as it is hidden inside! Some of the collections go out on loan - so unfortunately when we visited some of Kylie Minogue’s clothes were elsewhere!”

“Awesome collection of exhibitions for those that love music & music culture. It's well worth a visit, and it's free. The exhibitions change frequently. When I visited in Jan 2023, there were at least 6 different sections/displays - each had a different focal point for some part of Australian Music, and included memorabilia, artifacts, history and culture. The two sections that really stood out for me were the displays on MESS (Melbourne Electronic Sound Studio) and SLAM (Save Live Australian Music). It would be worth visiting for these alone. It's not a particularly big gallery, but it is very well put together. You could easily visit this during your lunch break, and just as easily lose two hours in there as I did.”

“Great overall free small gallery with artificial pieces dedicated to Australian icons. Best part was the amplifier room It’s a sound-proof, square-shaped room where short movies are projected onto the surrounding walls. So you can sit in the middle and feel like you’re actually in the middle of the story you’re watching.”
