KIOSk

The Kiosk is open daily 8:30am to 4pm, serving tea and coffee. Melbourne/Naarm institution Market Lane is in charge of the espresso machine. So, you can be confident the brew is as balanced as the surrounding architecture. View the menu here. A licensed bar will operate for select events throughout the season.

Please note, kiosk opening times are subject to change based on our event schedule. If you’re planning your visit, you can contact us at info@mpavilion.org or via Instagram to check opening times.

Uniforms & Chair Archive

From ponds to polka dots, we champion design in all forms. Since 2014 we’ve commissioned over 50 emerging and established designers to create chairs and uniforms inspired by each year’s MPavilion. In a salute to our beginnings, this year we’re featuring chairs from the MPavilion archive while our front-of-house team will be some of our favourite uniforms from MPavilion’s first decade.

MPavilion Library

Our library has books for big and little readers including a selection from The Wheeler Centre, curated in response to the Season 11 Program. The Wheeler Centre has been an epicentre for culture, stories and debate in Melbourne/Naarm since 2009. Find a shady spot on the lawn and have a flick through their picks if you’re keen to delve deeper.

MPavilion Toy Box

Grab a Toy Box and let the kids build as far as their imaginations can take them. Each box is packed with ethical wooden toys including cloud-like stacking sculptures from Raduga rez, as well as Japanese-designed Tsumiki wooden apartment blocks and triangular building blocks that fit together in infinite ways.

MPavilion Quilts

The Melbourne Modern Quilt Guild is a not-for-profit association that encourages modern quilting through craft, community and education. Their designs are as much conceptual art as they are masterful craft. After collaborating with us last year, the Guild’s skills are back in demand for Season 11. Lay one down on the garden lawns, relax, read< or sprawl out with friends and family.
