About Grainger Museum

The Grainger Museum is located in the Parkville neighborhood on the campus of the University of Melbourne in Victoria, Australia. It is dedicated to the Australian composer and pianist Percy Grainger (1882–1961), a significant figure in classical music. The museum opened in 1938 and has served ever since as a memorial to his artistic legacy. Here you can explore the life and work of the artist, who gained international fame for his compositions and his piano playing. As part of the university grounds, the museum offers insight into Australia's musical history and the personal creative world of one of its most influential musicians.

  1. Travel tip from Wikivoyagewritten by travelers

    A small but fascinating autobiographical museum on the university's western side. Documents the life and times of Percy Grainger, a Victorian concert pianist who achieved international fame and success. In addition to the Grainger collection, there is a broad variety of items relating to music.
