The inaugural MOH 2008 event saw eight buildings open, with more than 30,000 visits across the day. From this ‘pilot’ the 2009 event expanded to 32 buildings incorporating Docklands in addition to Melbourne’s CBD. The 2009 MOH event was held in association with the State of Design Festival, and saw almost 51,000 visits to the open buildings. The 3rd annual MOH will be held on 24 and 25 July 2010. With more buildings on the MOH list in 2010, this is a unique opportunity to gain access to buildings or parts of buildings that normally would not be available to the public. From buildings built in the 1800’s steeped with history and the odd ghost or two, to modern buildings that include environmentally sustainable initiatives and 6 star ratings. If you are interested in Melbourne's unique architecture and design, keep this weekend free and join the tens of thousands of visitors to the open buildings.
