Now or Never Festival is coming to the Melbourne Museum Plaza this winter with a cutting-edge program of events exploring the intersection of art, ideas, sound and technology. As part of our Future Forums program and in partnership with Now or Never, Museums Victoria is bringing world renowned environmentalist Dr. David Suzuki to the IMAX big screen for an exclusive live streamed event.

For the younger ones and their families, Science on Show is offering a free program of captivating talks, tours, interactive activities and exhibitions at Melbourne Museum.
