Now a vibrant cultural and educational hub, the restored Walter Burley Griffin designed Capitol Cinema is RMIT University’s premier film and media learning and teaching facility. The Capitol hosts film screenings, new media, creative arts, design, and performance experiences for RMIT and is a staple character in Melbourne’s cultural life.

The Capitol is a landmark. Beautiful and unique, the heritage restoration unleashes the delicious extravagance of the original ceiling.
