Description

Melbourne is a great Art Deco city. From the towering police headquarters in Russell Street to the tiniest detail of a suburban interior, Art Deco styling maintains an enduring presence in all facets of Melbourne's cultural life. Melbourne Art Deco examines the rise, fall and resurgence of Art Deco in Melbourne from the 1930s to the present day. This updated edition features contemporary images by David Thompson and a team of photographers, supported by archival material.
