Government House Open Day

13 Nov 2011

Government House is remarkable for its historic integrity. It was built as the home and office of the Governor of South Australia and for providing Vice Regal hospitality, and is still used as such.

Step inside and enjoy the charm of the beautifully presented rooms. The walls are hung with significant Australian paintings on loan from the Art Gallery of South Australia. Specially set up displays and memorabilia of historic significance, including original documents will be on display.

Special feature courtesy of the National Trust: Have your antiques appraised in the style of an 'antiques road show' by a team of qualified experts from Theodore Bruce Auctions.

Garden tours will be provided by The Friends of the Botanic Gardens of Adelaide.

Members of the Victoriana Society of South Australia Incorporated will be dressed in period costumes.

Staff and friends of the House will be on hand to guide you.
