Vault

An interesting enigmatic bit of sculpture.

Always good food and friendly service. I don't go too often as I would have trouble getting though the door. Too appetizing the deserts

Finally getting the recognition it deserves.An important piece of art.

In 1980 this colourful sculpture was revealed in the City Square of Melbourne. Its official name is the 'Vault' but it is also known as the 'Yellow Peril'. The artist that created it was Ron Robertson-Swann.Made of metal, painted yellow and representing dynamic movement, this abstract sculpture, created quite a divided opinion from Melburnians. It has been graffitied, a shelter for the homeless, photographed by many for its sweet lines and an inspiration for artists. It was then moved to Batman Park and again recently near the Australian Centre for Contemporary Art.Perhaps this piece of art was ahead of its time, and there would be no issue placing it back in the city again, especially near Federation Square, in the National Gallery or along the Yara River. It is, after all, a piece of art.It is a structure people pass daily and worth having a look. You can decide - love it or not?

My favourite piece of public art. Has been for decades. Even named my car Vault.

Weirdest bus shelter ever. Waited so long, bus never arrived.

A sculpture by Ron Robertson-Swann produced in the late 1979's.

A piece of Melbourne history. Relocated from city square due to public disliking modern art. Also known as The Yellow Peril

A wonderful sculpture with forty years of history - a great example of how different parts of the community respond to abstract work

I finally got a chance to look at this thing in person today, and it is WAY bigger than it looks from in a car. It could double as a bus shelter!Vault has an interesting story, as you would be able to tell from the other reviews here. I think it was ahead of its time, and it fits in well with the modem architecture.
