Montsalvat | An Artists' Colony in Melbourne

Welcome to another KZbin video where we take you to an artists' colony in Eltham, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, Montsalvat, Established by Justus Jorgensen in 1934, the colony is set among gardens on five hectares of land, and is home to dozens of buildings, including houses, halls, studios, galleries, and stables.
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.
