Time Out says

Do you love a classic Aussie banger? You've come to the right place – the Australian Music Vault is where you can explore your passion for music, revisit some of the biggest local music stories and better understand the legacy of Australia's iconic music scene.

Developed by Arts Centre Melbourne in collaboration with the Australian music industry, it's a free, permanent exhibition located in the heart of Melbourne's arts precinct. 

With a mission to amplify the stories of Australian contemporary music, it features immersive digital experiences, rare archival footage and famous music objects that have been contributed by legendary artists like Kylie Minogue, Nick Cave, Molly Meldrum and Olivia Newton-John.

You can listen to interviews with musicians, promoters, managers, roadies and technicians; see costumes up close; and find out what particular music moments influenced the Australian 'sound'.

The Australian Music Vault is open daily from 10am to 5pm. Find out more here.
