THE LUME Melbourne
Connection features over 650 artworks from more than 110 visual and musical artists, representing the largest experience of First Peoples’ art ever assembled. Developed in curatorial collaboration with the National Museum of Australia, Connection is a ground-breaking showcase that fuses the world’s oldest culture with the most cutting-edge technology.
Spanning 3,000 square metres of immersive gallery space, with projections four storeys high, you are invited to step inside the art and music of Australia’s most celebrated First Nations artists including Emily Kame Kngwarreye, Tommy Watson, Yothu Yindi, Baker Boy and more.
Once inside, indulge your senses at Mirri with a thoughtfully curated food and beverage selection by renowned chef, Mark Olive. From there, venture inside our new interactive installation, Artplay, or marvel at the mesmerising mirrored infinity room, named after the legendary artist, Emily Kame Kngwarreye, and her series known as ‘Emily’s Wall’.
