ABOUT LINDEN NEW ART
ABOUT LINDEN NEW ART
Jewish migrant and businessman Moritz Michaelis purchased the land in
1870. The mansion was built in 1871 to a design by architect Alfred Friedrich
Kursteiner. Michaelis called it Linden, a German name referring to the lime
tree. The property remained the Michaelis family home until 1957.

A REMARKABLE GARDEN
The original grounds were designed by William Guilfoyle, the landscape designer closely associated with Melbourne's Royal Botanic Gardens. Imagine the house surrounded by those extensive gardens, rather than viewing it only as a gallery building within a busy suburb.
A NEW CHAPTER
After its years as a family residence, the property became a private hotel called Linden Court. St Kilda Council purchased it in 1983, and it opened as a public art gallery in 1986.
CONTEMPORARY ART TODAY
Today, Linden New Art presents contemporary art with free entry. The combination of a historic domestic setting and new ideas gives the place its particular charm. As you explore, notice how the scale and character of a former home influence your experience of the artworks.
