The Grainger Museum is located at the University of Melbourne, and is the only purpose-built autobiographical museum in Australia. Its collection contains objects directly related to Percy Grainger's career, such as scores and manuscripts, and as well as diaries, ethnographic objects, furniture, decorative arts, photographs, artworks, clothing and correspondence associated with, and collected by Grainger. Grainger began planning the Museum after his mother's death in 1922, and it was officially opened in December 1938. The building was designed by the University's architect, John Gawler of the firm Gawler and Drummond, in close consultation with Grainger. The Museum's historical and architectural significance is recognised by the building's inclusion on the Register of the National Estate and the Victorian Heritage Register, and its classification by the National Trust of Australia (Victoria).
