Como House Historic House Tours (Traces of Girlhood)

Built in 1847, Como House and Garden is one of Melbourne's oldest stately homes. Como House offers a rare glimpse into the opulent lifestyles of former owners, including the Armytage family, who lived there for over a century. Famous among Melbourne high society for its elegant dances, dinners and receptions, the Armytage home remains furnished with original family heirlooms. Even the servant’s areas have been carefully preserved.

Historic house tours run for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Ticketholders should check in at the Como House retail shop, prior to their tour and receive essential information about their tour.

If you would like to see the Traces of Girlhood installation more closely please join an open house session instead, a self-guided experience to this installation. Please purchase tickets HERE.
