Museums Victoria is the Major Partner, Official Precinct Partner and Foundation Partner for Melbourne’s newest festival Now or Never. The Melbourne Museum Plaza bursts into life for Now or Never with a tantalising whole-of-precinct program fusing art, ideas, sound and technology. You’ll be lured into a world of curiosity, wonder and discovery with a celebration of National Science Week, a &#8220;Melbourne Planetarium Presents&#8221; program in the Neversphere, a special Future Forums edition, and unique exhibitions and events as part of the inaugural festival. The World Heritage listed Royal Exhibition Building will also fling back its doors, filling the magnificent space with a program of nighttime dance, RnB, hip hop and clubbing. While on site, make sure you also visit the fabulous Fantastic Beasts™: The Wonder of Nature exhibition on at Melbourne Museum, direct from the National History Museum in London and other great exhibitions on during this time.

Founded in 2010 in Melbourne by brothers Josh and Jake Uljans and school mate Karl van Buuren, Moon Dog began with a lil’ brewery in the back streets of Abbotsford, with the trio brewing beer in a brew house welded together from ex-dairy equipment and selling mind-blowing craft beer from the back of a ‘97 Volvo V40 station wagon.
More than a decade later, we’ve made some upgrades to the equipment, we’ve expanded our brewery into Preston, we’ve opened two brew pubs and our Moon Dog family has grown and grown, but one thing has stayed the same-brewing outrageously delicious beers and seltzers that blow minds is what it’s all about!

Prepare for an interstellar odyssey with Friday Night Social.
Explore the cosmos through captivating live music and mesmerising performance art. This Friday Night Social includes live entertainment from DJ Kalyani, a dance performance from Bendy Ben, installations from the University of Melbourne’s animation student cohort, performances Abby Sundborn, in collaboration with Liquid Architecture and a ‘Mystery Box’ illusionist act from DARK MATTERS artists Lawrence Leung, Dom Chambers and Vyom Sharma. 
Join self-confessed science nerds and art lovers alike as we try something new, make friends and ask the big questions.
DARK MATTERS is an exhibition created in collaboration with Arts at CERN and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Dark Matter Particle Physics exploring the fundamental essence of life and the universe, and how so much of it remains a mystery to us. Dive into the unseen, the unknown and the unspoken – will we ever fully understand the invisible forces at play in our own lives?
LIQUID ARCHITECTURE is a Narrm (Melbourne) based organisation supporting experimental, interdisciplinary, and critical work addressing sound and listening in context.
Update: Due to travel delays, Rully Shabara won’t be appearing in person as part of Liquid Architecture’s program at tonight’s Friday Night Social. Abby Sundborn will however perform collaboratively with Rully Shabara&#8217;s Xhabarabot. Tina Stefanou will also be joining the line up with a 30 min vocal performance.
