Australian Music Vault

The Australian Music Vault is a music museum at Arts Centre Melbourne in Southbank and contains physical objects, costumes, lyric sheets, and tour materials from the Australian Performing Arts Collection. These items are displayed across multiple exhibition spaces throughout the building.

The museum opened in December 2017 as a newly founded institution celebrating Australian music history. Within its first two years it attracted one million visitors and established itself as a major destination for music fans.

The exhibition presents recorded interviews, artifacts, and memorabilia from performers including AC/DC, Kylie Minogue, and Baker Boy as well as many Indigenous artists. These items reflect how deeply these performers shaped music-making in this country.

The museum is located at 100 St Kilda Road in Melbourne and offers free admission to all visitors. Throughout your visit you will find interactive digital activities spread across the exhibition areas.

The museum stands as Australia's first physical music hall of fame and regularly updates its displays to reflect current trends in the local music scene. These ongoing changes keep the collection contemporary and compelling for returning visitors.
