The Grainger Museum located at Melbourne University is a hidden gem. Stumbled upon while taking a Melbourne University walking tour. Percy Grainger was a true Aussie eccentric, genius of music composition and performance. In later life he proposed this museum to Melbourne University and supervised it's creation providing a unique range of memorabilia from his own collection. Well worth a visit.

Cool museum hidden near Melbourne Uni Music Department. I went to see the Synthesizer exhibition in 2018, and that was epic. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate. A lovely little space with some awesome free exhibitions. Worth a look-see :)

Before my visit, I thought that music is just for leisure. The Grainger Music Museum showed me the scientific and historic aspects of music which changed my way of thinking
