Surprise! Surprise!  A 'Real' Gallery in the Country!

Only 95k's north of Melbourne, in Central Victoria. Established in 1992 in the restored C1872 Old Post Office and Postmasters Residence, the multi-roomed Fine Art Gallery has grown to represent the Best in Australian Art.

The award winning Gallery proudly presents a Seasonal Exhibition Program plus a large and continuously changing collection of Traditional and Contemporary Works of Art by noted Australian Artists.

The centrally located, elegant, award winning Restaurant offers a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy a coffee, meal or browse the Gallery with a glass of local wine in hand.

The Post Office with postmasters residence has seen many changes since it was built in 1872. Now lovingly restored, it has since 1992, been transformed into a multi-roomed Fine Art Gallery with a fully Licensed Restaurant.

This majestic old building and its gardens are home to owners Louise Barling and Garry Broderick.

The quality of work is only surpassed by the variety offered for sale. Traditional to contemporary paintings, in all mediums, covering most subjects, are hung as if in a home and are lit buy numerous chandeliers hung from the four metre ornate ceilings.

Room after room has period furniture displaying a diverse range of individual quality Australian-made craft. Artglass, wildlife sculpture, pottery, woodwork, jewellery, silk, metalwork  and sculpture are all on show. The list of exhibiting artists is constantly expanding and diversifying, providing something for every budget and taste. Featured artists include Paul Margoscy, David Chen, Malcolm Beattie and many more.

The restaurant, which has an open fire and is centrally located, encourages the visitor to sit and enjoy the wonderful ambience, view the art and craft or browse thus creating a relaxed elegant atmosphere.

The Old Post Office Seymour offers something different, if not unique, that showcases all that is truly Australian.
