The George Paton Gallery is the first institutionally supported experimental art space in Australia. Established in 1975 as the Ewing and George Paton Gallery, it is run by the University of Melbourne Student Union, on the University of Melbourne Parkville Campus. In 2022, the gallery relocated from its longstanding space at Union House building to the purpose built Arts and Cultural Building.

Union House in the Parkville Campus
Union House and lake in 1885. The gothic revival National Museum building designed by Joseph Reed in 1863 became the first home of the Student Union. Though it was mostly demolished in 1968 to make way for the current building, parts of the interior and exterior original building remain embedded within its boxy brick namesake.
Union House in the Parkville Campus was completed in 1970 and is an example of Brutalist architecture.
