Did you know that Object Gallery is on the old site of St Margaret’s Hospital for Women? Object Gallery was once the hospital chapel.
This walking tour begins at OBject Gallery, St Margaret’s, Bourke St, Surry Hills and circles around the main roads and back lanes.
From St Margaret’s urban precinct you can look into the past and at the present simultaneously. The 19th century terraces around the area are some of the oldest in Sydney and the 20th century hospital buildings have been converted into an apartment complex. The creative use of glass and other materials found in recent buildings demonstrate the energy and imagination of 21st century architects.
Tours can be tailored to suit all ages. For more information please contact Object’s Learning Coordinator Annette Mauer on +61 2 9361 4555 or a.mauer@object.com.au, or Object Gallery on +61 2 9361 4511 or gallery@object.com.au.
