The decoration of Villa Alba in Kew is important to the state of Victoria for aesthetic, architectural, historic and social reasons. Its cultural significance results from the unrivalled quality of its 1883-84 hand-painted interiors created by the Scottish-trained interior decorators the Paterson Bros. The Museum is normally open to the public on the first Sunday of the month unless Victorian Government Covid-19 restrictions apply. Admission: $15.00 incl. booking fee and GST. Children under 18 free.
Tickets for open days and special events, including the lecture by Nicole Jenkins on From Victoria to Beatrice: A brief history of British royal wedding gowns on 28 October at 1pm can be purchased on Eventbrite. For more details on the October lecture, refer to the Events page.
