State Library Victoria

Australia’s most historic public library, State Library Victoria offers a choice of stunning spaces for your special event – from wedding celebrations and intimate cocktail functions to conferences and end-of-year parties.

The Library has been one of Melbourne’s most distinctive landmarks since 1856. Our magnificent 19th-century galleries and spacious contemporary venues include the Isabella Fraser Room, with its clean neoclassical decor, and the spectacular The Ian Potter Queen’s Hall, now meticulously restored to its 1860s glory.

Other popular venue locations at the Library include the domed La Trobe Reading Room, Cowen Gallery with its salon-style artworks and the bluestone-walled Conversation Quarter.

Bookings are now available from July.
