Robert Menzies Institute

The Robert Menzies Institute is an Australian Prime Minsterial Library and museum dedicated to the 12th and longest serving Australian Prime Minister, Sir Robert Menzies. The Library is situated on the Parkville campus of the University of Melbourne since founding in 2021.

The University of Melbourne announced that it would house the Institute in April 2021. It faced resistance in the run up to its opening due to its links with the Australian Liberal Party and conservative politics. The University of Melbourne procceded with opening the Library, which opened in 2021. In 2017 the University received a 7-Million dollar grant from the government to refurbish the building which the Institute would be housed in.
