If you’re interested in stuff at the State Library, although it’s currently booked out, the Dome to Catacomb is an amazing behind-the-scenes tour that will likely add more dates. https://www.slv.vic.gov.au/whats-on/dome-to-catacomb-tour

There are so many amazing tours available for all sorts of places around Melbourne. I managed to get onto a behind the scenes tour of the Library archives a few years ago as part of the Melbourne open weekends which was really fascinating. I also did a tour of the Arts Centre including the costume archives, also highly recommended.

I was starting to do quite a few of those things, but then Covid happened and I'm really only just starting to think about it again now.
