Following the Friends AGM on Wednesday 26 October 2022, Linton Lethlean OAM gave an illustrated talk entitled 'Melbourne and Paris - what do they have in common?'. This drew on his experience as Chairman and later Director of the Exhibition Trustees during the renovation of Melbourne's Royal Exhibition Building and its accession to the World Heritage List.
Mr Lethlean joins a distinguished list of annual speakers to have addressed the Friends since its formation.
From time to time we'll list other events which might be of interest to the Friends and their friends.
