This Open House Melbourne weekend, we invite you to join us for a free 30-minute curator-led tour of the special exhibition Eucalypts of Hodogaya. This intimate talk explores the remarkable story of the Yokohama Commonwealth War Cemetery in Japan—a place where Australian and Japanese designers collaborated after the Second World War to create a landscape of peace.
Discover how architecture, gardening traditions, and cultural exchange shaped a site that harmonises Eastern and Western design philosophies. The tour reveals themes of reconciliation, care, and shared humanity, offering insight into how design can express generosity across borders and generations.
