There are moves to have an open studio day (or two) in the Nicholas Building in late August. The Museum will probably participate depending a bit on the date(s) and how prepared we are. Some artists are apparently keen to open their doors; others of course regard the studio as a private work space and only want their work to be seen on completion and in the gallery.
Coincidentally the Museum of Electrical Philosophy was planning to take its show on the road around that time. Well, out of the building at least, and to Latrobe Gallery (303 Latrobe St). This will give us a space somewhat bigger than the window in the door. So the open day could be a useful rehearsal for some of the works. Stay tuned.

Established under the aegis of the Centre for Electrical Philosophy, the Museum's primary role is to collect, develop and occasionally display works that illustrate or are otherwise relevant to the concepts, principles and interests of the Centre, or the personal research projects of the Director.
The museum for several years offered a program of temporary or seasonal exhibits within the limited public display facilities of the Centre at the Nicholas Building. However, as noted in earlier postings, programs were suspended in 2010. It is hoped to restore all facilities once new premises can be secured.

Finding the Museum
It is regretted that the extended collection, archives and workshop are not currently accessible to the public. It is hoped to restore all facilities once new premises can be secured.
Historical note: the Museum's original site was on the 6th floor of the Nicholas Building, 37 Swanston St, Melbourne, Australia. One could enter via Cathedral Arcade at the corner of Swanston St and Flinders Lane, and be elevated to the 6th floor by Dimitri, Joan or Tim, or even take one's chances in the automatic lift. Except when Mr Otis regretted, then one had to use the stairs.
