Housed in a majestic 19th century building, the State Library of Victoria continues to stand as a Melbourne landmark and one of the most remarkable libraries worldwide. The library not only houses an outstanding collection of over two million books as well as other video and digital resources, but also boasts many artworks and exhibitions such as Ned Kelly’s armour and Mirror of the World for history buffs. All of which, seek to capture the impressive and tremendous transformation of Victoria over the past 150 years.

Featuring many reading rooms, the La Trobe Reading Room would be a worthy visit just to admire the impressive domed ceiling and stunning interiors. With such fabulous works, architecture and free galleries for you to visit and reflect on the changing culture of Victoria over the years, this is an adventure you certainly do not want to forgo!
