Summary

There are many abstract pieces of steel public art but there are few that have physically gone on a sightseeing tour of their own city. Ron Robertson-Swann's 'Vault' has been part of Melbourne since 1980 and continues to cause conversation. Jess Perkins tells Vault's story in this episode of Arty Facts.
