The Johnston Collection, Decorative arts museum in East Melbourne, Australia
The Johnston Collection exhibits English Georgian, Regency, and Louis XV artworks across multiple rooms of a restored 1860s townhouse called Fairhall.
William Robert Johnston, an antique dealer and collector, bequeathed his personal collection to Victoria in 1986, leading to the museum's establishment in 1990.
The museum engages creatives from visual arts and design communities to reinterpret the permanent collection through seasonal installations three times per year.
Visitors meet at Pullman Melbourne on the Park hotel for transportation to the museum, as the actual address remains private due to its residential location.
The collection appears without labels, ropes, or barriers in a domestic setting, allowing guests to experience objects as they would in a private residence.
