The affable actor's actor has donated some of his famed costumes and most prestigious awards to the Performing Arts Collection.
The regal attire he wore on stage in Exit the King and The Diary of a Madman, as well as his Tony and Helpmann Awards, are now part of the Art Centre's extensive historical collection.
But Rush seemed most happy to hand over some exquisite performance portraits, previously stuffed between layers of cardboard at his home.
"I didn't really want to hang them up because I thought that would make the dinner party just a little bit self-centred," he said.
One of the few actors to win the "triple crown" - Oscar, Emmy and Tony awards - Rush is back in Melbourne to prepare for his next stage show, The Importance of Being Earnest for the Melbourne Theatre Company.
For that he will be dressed even more elaborately as the female character Lady Bracknell.
"I'd like to find a certain sexiness in Lady Bracknell, in the way that men used to find Maggie Thatcher terribly attractive," he said.
"I figure she likes to walk into a room and think, 'I cut quite a smart social figure'."
Rush's donations will join 450,000 others in the Performing Arts Collection, which includes material from other greats such as Kylie Minogue, Barry Humphries and Dame Nellie Melba.
Rush's items will be on display at the Arts Centre until Friday, before going into the vault and used in future exhibitions.
