Tim Ross is one of a kind, combining humour, brains, purpose and a generous spirit to generate a passion for modernism in Australia and beyond our shores. Sydney Living Museums has enjoyed a great partnership with him over the past 5 years across our architectural programming aligning our interests and common love for 20th century architecture and design. We are particularly proud of the fact that Tim Ross’ first ever Man about the House was held in partnership with us at Rose Seidler House, Australia’s best known Modernist house. From this small beginning we have seen his star rise with his wit, intelligence and passion connecting with a public that is increasingly knowledgeable and interested in all things mid-century and beyond. Through his growing fan club and his work across a range of media, Tim Ross cuts through, raising awareness of the importance of valuing our Modernist heritage in Australia. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Tim for many years to come.
