Melbourne Humanities Quiz

Friends, colleagues and life-long learners: as a reboot of a festival favourite, come along for the Melbourne Humanities Quiz at University House, test your knowledge and prove you know your Arts from your Fine Arts and Music.

Gather the troops (tables of 8 max) or come solo and be matched up with fellow quiz enthusiasts on the night.

The Reverend Professor Russell Goulbourne will be presiding to test your knowledge and guide you through five rounds of multiple choice questions covering the humanities, social sciences and languages, with prizes for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place and plenty of bonus prizes along the way.

BYO thinking caps: funniest answer and best team name win prizes. The bar will be open and discounted food options will be available to assist the revelry.

This project was produced in collaboration with the 2025 Being Human Festival.
