In the legend of King Arthur and the knights of the round table Montsalvat is the home of the Holy Grail. Australias Montsalvat is an artists colony in Eltham; established by the architect and artist Justus Jorgensen in 1934. It is home to over a dozen buildings; houses and halls built out of local stone; recycled timbers and rammed earth and set amongst richly established gardens on 12 acres of land on the outskirts of Melbourne.The colony of Montsalvat is a testament to the vision and work of Jorgensen; his family and friends and its detailed history reflects the lives of those people. But it is more than a set of beautiful buildings - it is a place steeped in the art and culture of Melbourne. And to walk around its grounds is to step into a bygone world where such a grand plan seemed more achievable.Perhaps that is why Montsalvat has created its own myths and legends. In addition to Jorgensen and his family; among the artists; intellectuals; tradespeople and artisans associated with life at Montsalvat are numbered Clifton Pugh; Gordon Ford and Joe Hannan; Betty Roland; Mervyn Skipper; his wife Lena and their three children - Helen; Sonia and Matcham. Arthor Munday; George Charlmers; Lesley Sinclair; Sue Vanderkelen; Ian Robertson; Helen Lempriere; John Smith; John Busst and Myra Skipper; Percy Leason; Leonard French and Albert Tucker.Montsalvat today is a place where emerging and established artists can work; present and perform their work. Its visual features are enjoyed by tourists from around the world; and its buildings are classified by the National Trust of Victoria. The Australian Heritage Commission includes Montsalvat on the Australian Register of National Estate.
