We are seeking your support towards conserving some extraordinary paintings in our collection. These include the oil paintings at La Trobe’s Cottage of La Trobe’s father and grandfather. The large painting of Christian Ignatius La Trobe is by Thomas Barber (1768-1843). This conservation work will greatly enhance their appearance and will ensure that they are looked after into the future.
We need your help to continue our vital work. Your donation will help us save the past and celebrate places and collections of significance. Educate and inspire children and adults through our educational programs. Help shape values that last a lifetime. Provide places to share cultural meaning and generate happiness, memories and hope. Help families to connect, children to explore nature, and to drive curiosity and imagination. Nurture and care for our fragile landscapes, habitats, flora and fauna to give nature hope. Provide the opportunity for people to experience their heritage. Save the irreplaceable to connect and enrich lives.
Once beautifully conserved and restored, Como will be reimagined. Como is the founding property of the National Trust in Victoria. Our founders, Robin Boyd and Sir Daryl Lindsay, worked tirelessly with the community to purchase Como in 1956 to prevent those bricks from being demolished. Embedded in this purchase was everything that we have fought for and achieved over the past 65 years.
