Museums Victoria has been creating knowledge, entertaining visitors and building the State Collection since 1854. As the largest museum organisation in the Southern Hemisphere, Museums Victoria is home to Melbourne Museum, Immigration Museum, Scienceworks and the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Royal Exhibition Building. In partnership with Museums Victoria, Now or Never will transform the Royal Exhibition Building into <a href="https://nowornever.melbourne.vic.gov.au/event/reb">MATRIA</a>, an immersive pink sanctuary by Barcelona collective Penique Productions. <a href="https://nowornever.melbourne.vic.gov.au/event/reb">MATRIA </a>will also host ticketed breathwork sessions and curated performances. Museums Victoria also presents <a href="https://nowornever.melbourne.vic.gov.au/event/the-future-of-space">The Future of Space</a> with Australia&#8217;s first astronaut Katherine Bennell-Pegg at Melbourne Museum, exploring humanity&#8217;s cosmic future alongside the commissioned film birrang.

Pushing boundaries and embracing the unknown. Adventure calls.

Einder

Melbourne Town Hall

An image of 'Einder'. A sheer fabric sheet that is mid fall against a moody lit ceiling. It almost looks like smoke pillowing.

MATRIA

Royal Exhibition Building

An interior of a building is completely wrapped from ceiling to floor in a pink/red soft, draped plastic. The plastic crinkles in areas showing its personality. There are light panels underneath the plastic that light up the installation.

Laurel Halo live with Leila Bordreuil

Melbourne Recital Centre – Elisabeth Murdoch Hall

Young Marco / Logic1000 / Big Ever / KDV Performance Group with Hamill Industries & Tayhana

Logic1000 wears a black headband with her hair out, tortoise-shell sunglasses and a white shirt with faint stripes. She smirks as she holds onto her sunglasses, standing against a white background.

Quite a close up shot of Big Ever, his hand is covering the bottom half of his face and he looks off to the right. He is wearing a blue hoodie and a blue corduroy jacket over the top.

KDV Performance Group performing in front of a crowd, mid dance.

Young Marco stands wearing real tree camo jacket and a matching hat, he looks down to the left with chunky sunglasses.

Melbourne Recital Centre – Primrose Potter Salon

The artist demonstrates how to use the piece of sound listening equipment, their shadow is blue but the rest of the light is pink.

PARA.cine

ACMI – Cinema 1

A funky little creature that has been digitally created. It almost looks like a hybrid between Sonic the hedgehog and a pokemon, the hands are made up of white squares and have five 'fingers'. The face is red with yellow features and the overall outline of the creature is blue.

The Explorer

New Events

Freebie Finder

Moritz von Oswald sits casually on a chair, wearing a navy blue suit, in his studio. It's filled with art deco furniture and hifi music listening equipment.

Deep Listeners

The Starterpack

A gorgeous colourful collection of glass trinkets, some shells, blue glass flowers, glass koala, glass blue bird, assembled in a maximalist fashion, set against a black background.

The Local

Ryoji Ikeda stands in the middle of the stage, there is a blurred crowd at the bottom of the image. One of his works appears in the background as he appears to be mid-performance. He is wearing an "ultratronics" tee shirt, the text is in white on a black tee. He is also wearing a black cap and his face is not visible.

The Future Focused

Laurel Halo stands against a grainy blue/grey gradient wearing a grey suit and white shirt. Her vibrant red hair flies out to the side and swoops over her face. Her left hand is in her pocket, casually.

A man with a cap stands on the very right hand side of the frame holding a stick and stands facing the left hand side. Cross dissolved underneath is a picture of fire with trees burning.

The Connoisseur

A droid (similar to RD2D) poses standing with their legs crossed over and their right hand lifted to the sky, similar to vogueing. They are in a complete white space standing on a podium.
