Stained Glass in Swanton Street

Join stained glass historian, Dr Bronwyn Hughes, on a journey of discovery. A chance to learn more about the donors, artists, and makers behind the windows (and ceilings) in some of Melbourne’s historic buildings.

Meet at the State Library of Victoria, Swanston Street entrance. Bring your camera and wear your most comfortable shoes as we walk+talk down Swanston Street seeing grand installations and unexpected jewels of light.

Some of the highlights will include the State Library, the Nicholas Building, St Paul’s Cathedral, a recent addition to the NGVA along and other glass rarely noticed. In the NGVI we will see Gothic stained glass from Europe as well as the Great Hall’s modernist ceiling that has become synonymous with the Gallery.

Notes will be available for participants and will include other sites to be visited at leisure.
