Did you know that the Athenaeum has a library?! Well neither did I!! And they have an amazing range of rare books which is every book lover’s dream. For a measly $99/year, you can check out up to 30 books at a time, countless of eBooks and there are no late fees. They have a whole range of other things you can do here – book clubs, classic movie marathons. You just don’t know what is out there, until you look.

Location:

The Melbourne Athenaeum is an amazing old building, and the accoustics are even better. I remember enjoying Carl Barron perform here.

I’ll leave you with the pictures. Just amazing. Simply amazing.
