The Melbourne Athenaeum Library will be closed from 2:30pm on Monday February 10, 17, and 24 for routine pest control being undertaken throughout the building. Building access will be restricted at this time so no returns will be possible.

The library will be open on these dates from 10:00am until 2:30pm and regular hours on other days during this period.

Our Cultural Program

Much of our city’s standing as Australia’s cultural capital can be traced back to the Melbourne Athenaeum and the role it played in the early promotion and development of music, visual arts, literature and theatre.
