Melbourne Open House (MOH) 2012 unlocks the city's significant buildings for the fine people of Melbourne (and her visitors) to explore. It's a rare opportunity to discover the often-hidden wealth of design, architecture, engineering and historic gems nestled around the city. If you love Melbourne, you'll love Melbourne Open House.

A free event held over two days in July, MOH in its fifth year promises to be bigger than ever in 2012, with an estimated 100,000 people exploring 100 buildings. Favourite buildings from the past few years are re-opening.

Some of the buildings and tours require booking - Bookings commence early July online. Take the opportunity to explore areas that normally may not be accessible and learn more about the city of Melbourne. Pencil in Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 of July on your calendar and prepare to be a tourist in your own city for a day...or two.

Melbourne Open House is a not-for-profit organisation run by a group of professionals volunteering their time and services. It's made possible through the generous support of partners, sponsors, building owners and volunteers. Melbourne Open House is a Committee for Melbourne initiative.
