Known forhistoryGreek cultureCBDheritage building
Occupying the old Royal Mint building near the Queen Victoria Market, the Hellenic Museum is a thoughtfully presented institution covering ancient Greek history, mythology, and the Greek-Australian diaspora. The building itself — one of Melbourne's finest colonial structures — is worth the visit alone. Temporary exhibitions are often ambitious and travel internationally. It's a niche gem that most Melburnians haven't visited, which means it's rarely crowded and the experience is unhurried.
