THE LUME Melbourne

THE LUME Melbourne is the world's largest digital art gallery, transforming history's most iconic masterpieces into fully immersive sensory experiences. This ground-breaking presentation allows visitors to experience the grandeur and intricacies of these masterpieces, providing an intimate encounter with the brilliance of artistry not possible in traditional museum settings. Forget tiptoeing through intimidating silent galleries and viewing paintings from afar. Visitors find themselves interacting with art in ways they never imagined. From the moment you enter, the state-of-the-art design combines sights, sounds, tastes and aromas so you leave the world behind and immerse yourself in the artworks on display – an experience that is simultaneously enchanting, entertaining and educational. Until December 8, 2024, our feature experience is Leonardo da Vinci - 500 Years of Genius, transporting visitors back to Renaissance Italy as we tell the fascinating life story of history's greatest creative genius. Alongside the leading-edge digital art gallery displays, this experience features original pages from Leonardo's Codex Atlanticus, in Australia for the first time in 40 years - making it a truly once in a generation opportunity. For the month of August 2024 only, we welcome all Senior Card holders to claim one free coffee at our cafe inside the gallery, Caffe Medici, redeemed simply by presenting their Seniors Card upon ordering. Valid Monday - Thursdays in August, 2024.
