The ever-popular Open House Melbourne 2014 is only a few days away. The two-day event will take place from 26 to 27 July 2014. It is a free event that provides access to the city’s most significant buildings.

The annual Open House Melbourne weekend provides a free and rare opportunity to access and explore over 100 significant buildings designed for Melbourne from a broad range of building types, styles and periods.
