van gogh: the lume melbourne, south wharf

The Van Gogh at The Lume Melbourne exhibition is now on! This incredible immersive art experience in Melbourne is an epic journey through the works of Van Gogh, and Mamma says you really need to see it.

You and the family will be in awe as you walk (or twirl) through the massive digital art exhibition at The Lume Melbourne. With 360-degree jaw-dropping projections and choreographed music, you are quite literally inside the beautiful paintings of the great Van Gogh.

The technology is flawless, with a synchronised symphony of sound and art swirling around you. There are little breakout areas too, perfect if you need a moment to take it all in—because this is one of Melbourne’s most breathtaking art experiences. Mamma found herself transported directly into the world of Sunflowers and Starry Night, even feeling as though she was time-travelling to Van Gogh’s era.

This is an ever-changing canvas, where every step offers a new perspective. It’s easy to get lost in moment after moment, making it a must-see for art lovers, families, and anyone looking for unique things to do in Melbourne.

The Lume Melbourne - a family friendly immersive experience in Melbourne.

Is This a Family-Friendly Experience?

ABSOLUTELY! The kids will love it—ours did! From babies to older ones, The Lume Melbourne is a space where kiddos can skip, crawl, dance, or even jeté! It’s a safe, welcoming, and pram-friendly art gallery, making it one of the best family-friendly activities in Melbourne.

We’ve seen a lot of incredible things over the years, but this exhibition is truly special—one we’ll be talking about (and likely revisiting) for a long time!

There’s even a café and bar on-site, perfect for a quick snack or a relaxing break. And if you’re looking for a unique date night in Melbourne, this experience is just as magical for grown-ups!

mamma’s special mentions:
