Lyon Housemuseum

The Lyon Housemuseum is a hybrid house and contemporary art museum in Kew, Melbourne, Australia, near Cotham Road. In a specially built structure, the Housemuseum houses the Lyon Collection of Australian contemporary art. On some days throughout the year, the building is available to the public for pre-booked guided tours, school visits, and other activities. A series of public seminars and lectures on contemporary art, architecture, art history, and museology are also held at the Housemuseum. The Housemuseum Lecture is released as a short book each year. The first book in this series, Leon van Schaik's Meaning in Space, was released in 2011.

Since 1990, Melbourne collectors Corbett Lyon and Yueji Lyon have been developing the Lyon Collection. From the early 1990s to the present, it reflects significant components of Australian contemporary art production. It includes approximately 350 paintings, sculptures, installation pieces, photography, and video works. The Collection now houses more than 50 artists, including globally renowned Australians Howard Arkley, Patricia Piccinini, Callum Morton, Brook Andrew, Shaun Gladwell, Daniel von Sturmer, and Matthew Sleeth.
