<p><span style="font-size: larger;"><b>The Impermanent City:

The Rise and Fall of Melbourne’s Skyline</b></span></p>
<p>City Museum, Treasury Building, Spring Street</p>
<p>6 September to 23 November 2008</p>
<p>All across Melbourne, every day, every year, buildings are being erected and demolished. It happens to all buildings – the celebrated and the canonised, and the innocuous and the nondescript. Most of these buildings disappear without a trace, leaving later generations unaware they ever existed. But <em>sometimes</em>, we are left with a trace, a scar, a remnant, or a fragment.</p>
<p><em>The Impermanent City</em> mines the collective memory of Melbourne’s built environment. Through images, text, relics and seductive visual art, this moving exhibition explores the tactile links to a lost Melbourne.</p>
