History ~

Since the 1930's, Montsalvat has been an inspiration to various artists, from sculptor Helen Lempriere to the Rolling Stones, who held a press conference here in 1971. Founder Justus Jörgensen stamped his own exceptional creative talent in the buildings and grounds, laying the foundations for other artists to explore and celebrate their own creativity within Montsalvat’s magical surrounds.

Montsalvat’s artist-founder, Justus Jörgensen, took his inspiration from the villages of France, but the Montsalvat he built with artist friends and families, notably the prodigiously talented Skipper family, is fashioned out of the clay and stone of this beautiful Eltham hillside, and pieced together with many remnants of Australia’s architectural heritage. Look through the larger bay window in the Upper Gallery and you might learn that it once graced the Victorian Insurance Building. Lean against the great wooden uprights in the Barn Gallery and you will be told they were once wharf timbers from Wollongong.

A guided tour of Montsalvat is like an archaeological dig into art and architectural ingenuity. And if you look up into the trees you can sometimes see works wrought out of natural materials by twenty-first century artists whose passion for the local environment extends into fashioning its twigs and vines into art to make children stare in wonderment.
