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.
