The Johnston Collection is an exhibition-house of fine and decorative arts centred in an historic Melbourne townhouse. William Robert Johnston (1911-1986) was a 20th century collector and antique dealer who amassed an extraordinary collection of Georgian, Regency, and Louis XV furniture, paintings, ceramics and objet d'art over his lifetime. His collection was bequeathed to the people of Victoria after his death, and is displayed in a constantly changing domestic setting in his former residence, Fairhall.

The Johnston Collection will also present a Study Series exploring themes of Scotland and Scottish identity from March to June 2016. BY YON BONNIE BRAE is a series of more than twenty lectures presented by leading art, social, and cultural historians who will consider Scottish themes while exploring the social and cultural worlds where art, fashion, interiors and design meet.
