We don't get out much and so it has only just come to our attention that back in February the itinerant Melbourne art critic Mark Holsworth wrote some nice things about the Museum in his blog Melbourne Art and Culture Critic .
Thanks Mark. And even though we are no longer in the Nicholas Building, the spirit lives on and the physical manifestation will be returning before long.

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.
