Hellenic Museum

The Hellenic Museum was founded in 2007, with a mission to inspire Australians about Hellenic culture from the ancient to the contemporary.

The Hellenic Museum was founded by the late Melbourne businessman and philanthropist Spiros Stamoulis . Having emigrated from Greece to Australia as a 12 year old in the 1950s, Spiros went on to build a series of successful businesses which enabled him to give back to the city which had embraced both him and his family.

The former Royal Mint is of architectural significance as one of the most impressive 19th century government buildings in Victoria, and one of few Australian buildings in the true Renaissance revival style, and a virtual copy of the Palazzo Vidoni Caffarelli , attributed to Raphael, in Rome.

Sean Godsell ‘s much anticipated M Pavilion officially opened to the public on 7 October 2014. Now having been permanently relocated from the Queen Victoria Gardens to the Hellenic Museum courtyard, the structure is intended to be reminiscent of the Aboriginal humpy, both in form and function. It is a place to gather, converse and connect.

And it still serves that purpose today. With a combined capacity for 500 cocktail, including wet weather coverage for up to 200 guests, it provides a secluded secret garden in the heart of the CBD. A fully integrated bar, and kitchen facility ensure a high level of service whatever your style of event.

Eastern Courtyard & M Pavilion is perfect for: Cocktail Party venue Melbourne | Birthday venue Melbourne | Wedding venue Melbourne | Engagement party venue Melbourne | Private Dining Room Melbourne | Networking venue Melbourne | Corporate Function venue Melbourne | Christmas Party venue Melbourne
