An authentic house and garden surviving from the gold rush era in Castlemaine, Victoria. Buda was home to the creative Leviny family for 118 years and houses their significant collection of art works. Buda supports the biennial Contemporary Australian Silver & Metalwork Award, and a biennial Textiles Award and Exhibition as well as many other events. The Nursery is open every day and contains a wide variety of plants appropriate to the local climate and conditions. Our Garden Room is a stunning location for your next work or family function, and enquiries are welcome. Community ownership of Buda is vested in the trustees of the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Historical Museum. A strong network of volunteers help to keep Buda open for public enjoyment. You can support us by becoming a Friend of Buda. Keep up to date with all our regular exhibitions and events, with a seasonal newsletter and regular updates throughout the year
