Nocturnal is your monthly invite to experience Melbourne Museum after-hours and child free.

Whether you’re looking for unique date night ideas, or a fun Thursday night out in the city with friends, they've got you covered. With two levels of exhibitions spanning science, culture, nature, art and history, a full program of themed talks and tours and a special line-up of music and fun activities just for adults, you’ll never run out of things to talk about.
