Re:location

We are saddened to report that the Museum of Electrical Philosophy will soon lose its physical presence in Melbourne's historic Nicholas Building. Our operating budget has been under considerable pressure in the past year or so and now we have a 25% rent increase. So that's it for a while.

The archived works, works under construction and our incomparable collection of research material will go into temporary storage onsite, thanks to the cooperation of our neighbour André who will be taking over the premises progressively.

It is hoped some alternative location can be found when the director returns from study leave in July. His research proposal refers to several European museums, and it is hoped he will be diligent in posting reports of his research here from time to time.
