The program for this year?s Open House Melbourne Weekend has been unveiled with over 170 unique experiences. Over one weekend in winter (27 + 28 July) audiences are invited to re/discover their city and explore some of Melbourne?s most fascinating buildings, places and spaces not normally open to the general public. From private homes to forested water treatment plants and beloved sporting facilities there is something for everyone to re/discover.
The Open House Melbourne Weekend is the country?s largest architecture and built environment festival, celebrating the importance of good design in shaping our communities. Over 60,000 people are expected to attend this year?s event and explore unique and intriguing spaces in every corner of the city and suburbs of Melbourne.  New and notable to this year?s program include: a private home by renowned Architect Robin Boyd that has never been open to the public, forest land art by Agnes Denes at a water treatment facility not open to the public, a CBD tour to better empathise with people experiencing homelessness, a walk on the hallowed pitch of a city sports stadium, behind the scenes tours of Melbourne?s foremost medical research facilities, Australia?s oldest continuously operating artist collective, historic cemeteries, two former explosive storage facilities and ten modern and historical private homes open to the public.
