Tour Description
Melbourne is one of the best Art Deco cities in the world and many of the best buildings are located in the city centre. In 1934, Melbourne celebrated its centenary and this event provided a catalyst for a building boom that continued for the next six years to transform the city
This tour covers a variety of building types in the centre of the city, commencing at Manchester Unity building at Collins St. and concluding at the T&G Building corner Collins and Russell Sts. Robin Grow, author of the award-winning book Melbourne Art Deco will communicate to the group the influences on design, construction methods and the history of occupants of Melbourne's interwar buildings.
From the Manchester Unity Building to the Majorca Building, you will learn how to recognise the Art Deco style under Robin Grow's expert guidance. You won't look at buildings the same ever again!
