Melbourne, Australia Wall Art

Melbourne photographs differently than most cities. The Yarra River curves through the middle of every wide shot, the Eureka Tower and the rest of the southbank towers stack up behind it, and at dusk the office lights reflect off the water in long gold streaks. Our Melbourne, Australia wall art leans into that look - the laneway graffiti, the old tram lines, the flat grey sky that suddenly clears. I like the night skyline prints best, but the morning fog ones over the river are quietly the better seller.

Who hangs Melbourne on the wall

Mostly people with a tie to the place - a few years lived there, a uni stint, a trip they keep talking about. It suits a study or a hallway better than a bedroom, since the colours run cool and architectural. Pair it with another harbour or skyline print and the room starts to feel like a travel wall.

You can take it as a canvas wrapped on a real wood frame, a plain unframed poster, or a poster set behind glass. Sizes run from 16x12 up to 40x30 inches; a 20x16 canvas is $69, posters start at $29. We print with eco-friendly ink and ship it flat in a fitted box so the corners stay square.

If you are building a city set, see Cityscapes & Skylines, or compare against New York City, USA and the softer light of Paris, France.
