The Grainger Museum at the University of Melbourne is the only purpose-built autobiographical museum in Australia. It is home to a diverse collection of art, photographs, costumes, musical scores and instruments acquired by Percy Grainger.
In 2020 the Grainger Museum closed to public due to the global pandemic. During that time, it undertook a strategic review of the Museum’s activations and programs.
A new Grainger strategy is in development focusing on Research, Teaching and Learning and creative residencies for artists, academics, and students as well as reinstatement of original cabinets from 1938.
The forward program for the Museum will reflect Percy Grainger as a world-renowned composer, the heritage-listed Grainger Museum building, and the collection and archive. From semester 2, 2022 the Museum will reinstate original cabinets from 1938 alongside a selection of curated objects from the Collection for visitors to engage with. The Museum and its Collection are still accessible for teaching, learning and research.
