Hellenic Museum, Greek art museum in Melbourne CBD, Australia.
The Hellenic Museum is an art museum in Melbourne housed in a Renaissance Revival building with multiple galleries. It presents a broad collection of artworks, archaeological objects, and religious icons spanning many millennia of Greek history.
The building was constructed in 1872 as a branch of the Royal Mint and served coin production for decades. After closure in 1968, it was transformed and now houses this art museum.
The museum displays objects that reflect Greek life and belief across thousands of years, from ancient statues to religious icons. Visitors can see how these works show who the Greeks were and what mattered to them.
The museum is located on William Street, a short walk from Flagstaff station. It is easily reached by trams running on William Street and La Trobe Street.
The museum partners with the Benaki Museum in Athens and regularly displays rare items on loan from there. Through this partnership, visitors in Melbourne can see objects that are typically found only in Greece.
