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!

Renowned Australian activist Bob Brown has dedicated his life to environmental conservation and advocacy. Leader of the world’s first Green party, his leadership in the successful campaign to save the Franklin River in Tasmania marked a turning point in Australia’s environmental movement.
The Giants is a powerful film tribute to Bob Brown’s remarkable activism, and a love letter to ancient forests. Drawing on 50 years of inspiring activism, it showcases Bob’s journey from the Franklin campaign to the ongoing battle for the Tarkine rainforest, intertwining his story with the awe-inspiring life cycle of Australia’s giant trees.
Bob Brown, and filmmakers Rachael Antony and Laurence Billiet, join ABC Radio National’s Hilary Harper after the screening to share behind-the-scenes stories, lessons from his journey, the pressing need for collective action and what protest looks like today as legislators crackdown on disruptive protests.
This event is part of <a href="https://designhub.rmit.edu.au/exhibitions-programs/wild-hope-conversations-for-a-planetary-commons/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Wild Hope: Conversations for a Planetary Commons</a>, an exhibition calling for a radical shift to ‘planetary thinking’ as vital to the survival of human and non-human life on Earth, at Design Hub Gallery 15 August–30 September.
