Tucked behind the Capitol theatre and little sister to the bigger Howey place, Presgrave place is a little functional laneway with a hidden secret. Pushka cafe (here's an Age review) has become unofficial custodian to Presgrave place and has done a mighty fine job of it.
The plant-life notwithstanding, Presgrave place comes to life with artwork small and large, classical and modern. The waterfall tiles take the red bricks back to nature and the little gallery of classical prints just shows that nowhere is safe from a little bit of creative refuge.
BTW I can't believe after six months of Googling Melbourne laneways I haven't come across this before. Laneway Magazine! Yes, a website dedicated to the humble Melbourne urbanite.
> LOCATE THIS (sorry, Google streetview, this is a strictly pedestrian haunt)
