Hellenic Museum

The Hellenic Museum sits on William Street in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, housed in a grand heritage building. A dedicated museum celebrating Greek and Hellenic culture, history and art, it's a fascinating cultural destination — showcasing ancient artefacts, contemporary exhibitions and the rich story of Greek civilisation and its connection to Australia.

The appeal is that combination of fascinating exhibitions, beautiful artefacts and a grand heritage setting: from ancient Greek treasures to thought-provoking contemporary shows, there's plenty to engage and inspire, all in an elegant historic building. It's a wonderful cultural day out for anyone interested in history, art or Greek culture, and a distinctive part of Melbourne's museum scene.

With a 4.6 rating from more than 580 reviews, it's clearly valued by its visitors. The exhibitions, opening hours, admission and any events vary with the program, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly to see what's on — while looking forward to exploring the art, artefacts and history at the Hellenic Museum in the city.
