About Wax Museum Records
Founded in 2006, Wax Museum Records has been part of Melbourne’s underground music culture for nearly two decades. What started as a small record store tucked away in the iconic Campbell Arcade subway beneath Flinders Street Station quickly became a destination for DJs, collectors, music heads and curious diggers chasing everything from rare underground cuts to everyday essentials.
After 13 years in Campbell Arcade, Wax Museum Records moved to its current home in the basement at 250 Flinders Street — expanding the vision beyond just a record store. The move allowed us to build something bigger: a space where records, community, food, drinks and live music could all exist under one roof.
Today, Wax Museum Records is more than a shop. Alongside thousands of new and used vinyl releases across hip hop, electronic, jazz, soul, reggae, rock and beyond, we also operate Wax Music Lounge — an intimate bar and live venue built around a custom Pitt & Giblin sound system, hosting DJs, live bands, listening sessions and underground events multiple nights a week.
From day one, the mission has stayed the same: create a welcoming space built around a genuine love of music and culture. No gatekeeping. No pretentiousness. Just good records, good sound and good people.
Over the years we’ve become known not only for our carefully curated selection, but for the community that surrounds the store — local DJs, touring artists, collectors, crate diggers, regulars and first-timers all sharing the same space.
Whether you’re chasing a rare pressing, discovering something new, catching a live show downstairs or simply hanging out with a drink after work, Wax Museum Records has always been about connection through music.
