About The State Library Victoria
A Melbourne landmark and cultural icon, the State Library is a magnificent 19th-century building with beautiful heritage interiors, perfect for our Insta Worthy tour!
It was established in 1854 as the Melbourne Public Library, making it Australia's oldest public library and one of the first free libraries in the world.
Top Tips
The La Trobe Reading Room with its domed ceilings and amazing architecture is definitely a highlight!
Take the lift to the fourth floor and take a picture on the balcony facing the La Trobe Reading room. See if you can fit in the arches from the balcony opposite of you as well as the desk isles on the ground floor. We recommend taking the stairs once you reach the fourth floor for a higher picture.
We also recommend the Ian Potter Queen’s Hall, red and blue rotundas, and courtyards to round out your visit here.
