History
The MPavilion 2019 by Glenn Murcutt AO was first presented at Southbank’s Queen Victoria Gardens. Thanks to a generous philanthropic cultural gift from the Naomi Milgrom Foundation, it now has a new home in University Square, on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi Wurrung People of the Eastern Kulin nation.

It is Australia’s leading architecture commission—a cultural laboratory where the community can come together to engage and share. Each year since 2014, the Naomi Milgrom Foundation has commissioned an architect to design a pavilion for the Queen Victoria Gardens. The MPavilion then presents a free program season of cultural events and activations. At the close of each season, the MPavilion is gifted by the Foundation to the people of Victoria and relocated to a new home.
