The Johnston Collection
The Johnston Collection incorporates The Johnston Collection House Museum and The Johnston Collection Gallery. The Johnston Collection House Museum boasts a collection of French and English furniture, ceramics, paintings and decorative arts, particularly rich in the Georgian and Regency periods and arranged in a domestic setting.
Unfettered by ropes and barriers, the collection is rearranged at different times of the year to respond to festivals, special events and nature's seasons. Different kinds of tours are available offering passive enjoyment and active learning experiences.
The Johnston Collection House Museum is open Monday to Friday with three tours daily at 10.00am, 12.00pm and 2.15pm. Bookings are essential. Tour costs are $20.00 Adult/$16.50 Concession. Groups of 8 $128 (maximum 16 people per tour). Occasional evening and Saturday morning tours are also available.
The cost of these out of hours tours is $27.50 per person. Concession rates do not apply for these tours. The recently launched Johnston Collection Gallery provides a showcase for private collections and venue for lectures and seminars, all of which fits snugly into The Johnston Collection's educational philosophy.
The aim is to give visitors a set of responsive tools to take with them on a visit to a more formal art gallery experience. The Johnston Collection now offers a double program for groups (minimum 8 people, maximum 32 people). Enjoy morning tea, a tour of The Johnston Collection House Museum, a light sandwich lunch and a visit to The Johnston Collection Gallery for a special exhibition and discussion.
This program is held Monday to Friday, 10.30am to 2.00pm. The cost is $45.00 per person. Bookings are essential.
The Johnston Collection also runs an extensive range of public programs and lectures throughout the year. Please telephone for full details or visit our website.
