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.

In Conversation with Boris Acket

Melbourne Town Hall

New Events

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.

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

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

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.

The Explorer

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.
