About the Nicholas Building

It has only recently come to our attention that the ABC Arts website has a short video item about the Nicholas Building and some of its tenants. There is no mention of this Museum, but the view of the cathedral across the road is the same as the Director enjoys from his office. He would enjoy it more if we cleaned the windows.

Try www.abc.net.au/arts/stories/s2724520.htm but we don't know how long it will remain available.

About the Museum of Electrical Philosophy

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.

For further information you are invited to email the director.

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.
