Montsalvat Historic Tour
+ Add to ItineraryDescription
Montsalvat, in Eltham, Victoria is an arts village and artist community spanning ninety years of continuous creative practice. Established in 1934, Montsalvat has fostered a deeply connected creative community and provided thousands of artists, musicians, writers, philosophers, poets and makers with the time, space and support to further their artistic practice.
Once a private semi-rural retreat for artists, Montsalvat has evolved into a public hub of creative opportunity; a place where art is made and taught as well as exhibited and performed. We offer art classes, studio places and short-term residencies to a wide variety of experienced and aspiring artists, along with numerous events and private function facilities across three dozen unique, heritage-listed buildings and five hectares of stunning grounds.
What's On
Participate in a guided tour of Montsalvat's buildings and grounds, exploring its historic significance and the many stories that live in the walls and pathways of the magical world of Montsalvat.
