The Johnston Collection is a museum in East Melbourne, Australia. In recent years The Collection has invited creatives from the broader visual arts and design communities to re-interpret the collection through a regular program of re-installation and interventions of the permanent collection and has been the recipient of a number of industry awards.
The museum is an "exhibition house" and displays a collection of English Georgian, Regency and Louis XV artworks that were a bequest from William Robert Johnston, a prominent antique dealer, real estate investor and collector, to the people of Victoria. The Collection is displayed in a regularly changed domestic setting, in his former residence, Fairhall, an historic East Melbourne townhouse.
