Completed in the mid 1800’s and located in the Melbourne CBD, opposite the State Library Victoria, the Old Melbourne Gaol is constructed in historic bluestone. The space contains it’s original cells across three levels, with high ceilings and museum features lining the walls. These cells held some of Australia’s most notorious criminals, including the infamous bush ranger Ned Kelly.
