Small and volunteer run. Packed full of old trams of various vintage. Informative posters and staff. The park behind the museum runs along a river and is pretty. read more

Open to the…read morepublic on the first Sunday of every month from 1-4pm, Villa Alba Museum boasts some of the most impressive original wall murals and interior decorations of the late 1800's. The garden has been reconstructed to reflect how it was when the house was in its prime and the volunteers are most helpful in providing extra information on any area of the house. Light refreshments are available for a small fee and other items such as homemade jams and relishes and even postcards are also available to purchase. Definitely worth a trip to Kew on a lazy Sunday afternoon!

You can buy a ticket inside of Gate 3 where the museum entrance is right by the escalators. For a deal steal you may purchase this ticket in conjunction with the MCG tour ticket for $30 AUD. Otherwise they are each $22 each per adult. Knowledgeable staff are at the entrance and within the areas to answer your questions. Air condition is cold enough for the summer that I had to wear a jacket.

When I lived in South Yarra, I used to pass by Mossgreen and often wondered what it was. A large…read moresculpture outside gave it a commanding feel that could only mean two things. It was either an Art lovers home or an art museum. Unable to stop my curiosity any longer I decided to venture there to find out for myself. And my second guess was right! Mossgreen is a gallery that has three spacious levels which you can access via a glass elevator. The gallery represents approximately thirty artists from emerging to established artists working in diverse media including painters, sculptors, ceramicists and mixed media artists. Natural light bathes each floor from the floor to ceiling windows and the gallery is well distributed so you can admire the various artworks in peace. The gallery also has a front courtyard which allows for special preview nights in summer while a cute café which opens on Saturday, makes this the perfect boutique art experience.
Extremely unethical operators and I would caution anyone planning on dealing with them - buyers and…read moresellers alike. I won an auction through them, and bid hundreds of dollars higher than their anticipated figure. I received notification that the auction was closing, then that the auction had closed, and I was the winning bidder. A short while later they REOPENED THE AUCTION AND TOOK ANOTHER BID AND THEN CLOSED IT AGAIN! In all my years bidding at auction I have never seen the like. But after reading other dissatisfied clients, it doesn't surprise me. Horrible experience. Caveat emptor, or in this case, winner beware!

This is a great place to bring primary school age kids (or younger) for a full day of fun,…read moreespecially when there are special exhibits such as the Explore-a-saurus Exhibition. Where else can kids see moving roaring dinosaurs in Melbourne? Furthermore, the Nitty Gritty Super City upstairs offers many fun activities, such as a mock construction site. There's even a realistic Lego model of Melbourne. Unfortunately, there is nothing for adults to do other than accompany the kids. In this respect, the use of the word Museum is somewhat misleading. Play-centre would've been a much better description. Adults will learn little from the exhibits. For example, the dinosaur exhibition skips over the origin, geological periods, evolution or demise of these animals. They are not arranged in any chronological order, and not even to scale. For example, the T-rex is roughly half size. And nothing from the Triassic period. Again I have to remind myself it's for KIDS ONLY. The cafe is disappointing, offering mostly pies, sandwiches, chips but no healthy cooked food. At least there is real coffee. In summary, adults with no kids should stay away. But I'll probably bring my kids back here for more.

There are also more modern exhibitions, including Lego. The place is great for both museum enthusiasts as well as for families with kids. The staff is friendly and can direct you if needed. The facilities are modern with plenty of restrooms and other accommodations. The crowds also seem to have been mostly well controlled. I'd say the dinosaur display is the one most definitely work checking out.

It exhibits artists like Shag, Mark Ryden and "other pop, lowbrow, street and alternative art". It is focused primarily on American lowbrow, limited edition prints and vinyl toys, although there are some Australian artists amongst their stock. There are two spaces, the front space has the display cases and their main exhibition the second one is up a few stairs, where there is their stock gallery. Although they have regular feature exhibition there are little exhibitions everywhere featuring the work of one artist. I always enjoy looking around the shop/gallery and the staff here knows and love their fantastic art.
