Arts Centre Melbourne

Arts Centre Melbourne is much bigger than even most Victorians realise, comprising three venues on both sides of St Kilda Road: The Theatres Building has the impressive State Theatre, Playhouse and intimate Fairfax Studio; Hamer Hall is a premier venue for musical  performances, including Melbourne Symphony Orchestra; and Sidney Myer Music Bowl is popular for open-air concerts.

More than merely a place to see a show, this buzzing cultural precinct is a tourist attraction in its own right that can be explored and enjoyed in a variety of ways.

On Sundays (10am to 4pm), local artisans showcase their unique handmade goods – perfect for one-of-a-kind gifts – at the Sunday Market on St Kilda Road. Explore the stories of contemporary Australian music at the Australian Music Vault free exhibition open daily.With immersive digital experiences, rare archival footage and iconic objects and clothing on display from artists like Kylie Minogue, AC/DC, Baker Boy, and Archie Roach.

There are plenty of great places to eat and drink, with The Barre perfect for a pre-show wine, meal or late-night drink, or for a quick coffee and cake break try Protagonist on the forecourt.
