Open House Melbourne

Open House Melbourne is a collection of tours, talks and events designed to give the community a deeper understanding of the shapes and buildings that make up our city. It gives everyday people exclusive access to architects, designers and planners and encourages all of us to uncover challenges and explore solutions.

This is the perfect way to explore your interests in building design and learn more about our multi-award winning facility.

PRE-BOOKED TOURS
Lift the curtain and see what goes on behind-the-scenes to make everything work. Tours are fully accessible and suitable for people aged 13 years and above. Sorry these have been super-popular and all places have been booked out.

FILMS ON THE BIG SCREEN
Pull up a chair and enjoy interviews with the architects FJMT as well as construction footage on the big screen, on the hour every hour between 10.00 am and 3.00 pm.

SELF-GUIDED TOURS
Want to do your own thing? No problemo. Just pick up a map and wander to the allocated key sites across the precinct.

KIDS AND FAMILY ACTIVITIES
We're about FUN for the whole family. So kick back with a coffee from the café and let the kids explore:

• Bailey the Bandicoot self-guided tour
• Building blocks for the under 5s
• Archi-KID design activity

Want to know more? Take your experience home by grabbing a copy of Designing Bunjil Place. An awesome book filled with great info, pics and design insights. Purchase online or pick one up at the Ticketing Services desk.
