St Michael’s will again be participating in the Melbourne Open House.
Melbourne Open House is a not-for-profit association that was started in 2008. The vision was to provide the public with a free and rare opportunity to explore and see first-hand some of the most beautiful architecture (often hidden) that Melbourne possesses.
For the first year, 8 buildings opened their doors to the public. With over 30,000 visits across that first day, the event has now grown and expanded and this year 75 buildings will open for the event.
It is an opportunity to engage directly with key elements of our great city – from globally significant buildings to roof top gardens – that reflect the fascinating past of Melbourne. Well-informed volunteers will discuss the significance of these buildings within the Melbourne context, and provide a valuable contribution to the visitor’s experience.
St Michael’s will be opening its doors to the public, for Melbourne
Open House, on Sunday 31st of July from 12.00pm to 4.00pm. During this time the church will be open for people to explore, observe the windows or just sit in peace. There will also be an archival display in the Waratah Room on the first floor of the administration building, at the end of St Michael’s Walk.
Fourteen volunteers from our congregation will be present throughout the day to assist guests and provide valuable insights into the St Michael’s story.
