Melbourne & #43 ; Me: 40 Years of Mushroom & Melbourne’s Music Culture

A free exhibition celebrating 40 years of Mushroom Records and Melbourne's music culture will take place at the RMIT Gallery from 19 November 2013 to 22 February, 2014.

Melbourne Me: 40 Years of Mushroom & Melbourne's Music Culture will focus on the last four decades through music, songs, posters, photographs, costumes, memorabilia and iconic Melbourne rock venues.


The exhibition will showcase extensive memorabilia from the Mushroom Group and a number of items from the personal collections of Michael Gudinski, Ian 'Molly' Meldrum, Kylie Minogue, Skyhooks, Split Enz and Crowded House which have never been seen before.

Other highlights include a dance floor with LED lights, an interactive booth for visitors to share their love of music and a jukebox of 40 of Melbourne's favourite songs which will be selected by Herald Sun readers and a replica of Gudinski's office from Mushroom Headquarters.

Michael Gudinski AM; CEO of The Mushroom Group said "After 40 years in the business I wanted to be able to give something back to the many music fans of Melbourne and indeed Australia."


There will be series of free public talks featuring Michael Gudinski with radio personality Lee Simons; musicians Mark Seymour and Elle Hooper; journalist Ed Nimmervoll and Dogs in Space filmmaker Richard Lowenstein.

Gudinski started Australia's biggest independent record label Mushroom in 1972 and he stated "If anyone gets inspired and ends up getting any form of job that they love because they've come to this exhibition, that'd be more than enough for me."
