QT Melbourne
Discover Melbourne’s CBD on a personalised walking tour with an engaging specialist guide who is also a museum and art curator by profession, widely travelled, and a sought-after speaker and lecturer in archives, fine arts, architecture, social history, travel and museum studies. Explore the city's fascinating labyrinth of atmospheric arcades and alleyways, filled with vibrant cafés, eclectic boutiques and some colourful street art. Along the way admire landmark buildings like the Block Arcade with its dazzlingly high Victorian interior decoration or some truly grand 19th century buildings like the old General Post Office. Marvel at the hand of progress as you encounter many structures that have been renewed and transformed and hop aboard one of Melbourne's iconic and much-loved trams.
Lunch is at a local Melbourne restaurant after which the owners of a contemporary art collection will invite you into their home for a private tour. Featuring works collected over a 40 year period, the collectors will share both their collection and their passion for art, architecture, design and food on this exclusive and engaging experience. Their diverse collection comprises over 300 works including painting, sculpture, multi-media installations, works on and from paper, and photography by local and international artists, both established and emerging.
