7 exhibitions and galleries to explore without leaving your couch
With everything happening in the world, we’re all in need of a little escape.
So here are some of our favourite Virtual Tours from over the years.
- Inside Out — Melbourne Museum, 2017–18
“Made up of 370 extraordinary museum objects usually held behind closed doors, Inside Out is a love song to Museums Victoria’s collection of more than 17 million items.”
2. Perfection: Part Experiment/Part Exhibition — Science Gallery, 2018
“Mathematical precision, quantum physics, Utopian worlds, body modification, internet dating and Instagram filters.
Why do humans strive for perfection?”
3. EMPIRE — Rone, 2019
“High in the Dandenong Ranges a sprawling art deco mansion lies empty, nature creeping through its crumbling walls. Questions hang heavy in the dense silence, each room strewn with the dusty remains of a fallen dynasty and echoes of romance past.”
4. Cowen Gallery — State Library of Victoria
“This image gallery features artworks from the State Library’s 2003–18 Cowen Gallery exhibition, which included colonial and modern portraits, paintings of Victorian landscapes, iconic Melbourne landmarks and artists’ impressions of events from Victoria’s history.”
5. Blood: Attract and Repel— Science Gallery, 2017
“The alluring mystery of blood has fascinated scientists and artists for centuries. From biological fluid to artistic medium, Blood: Attract & Repel was a powerful collision of arts and science that took you on a journey of scientific discovery, social taboo and self-identity.”
6. Rippon Lea House & Gardens — National Trust
“Rippon Lea is a large 19th century mansion surrounded by 7 hectares of Victorian pleasure gardens. It is listed on the National Heritage Register as one of the finest examples of original suburban estate in Australia.”
7. Wunderkammer by Rod McRae — National Trust, 2015
“Embark on a journey of discovery and surprise through artist Rod McCrae’s cutting edge Wunderkammer Exhibition, exploring human interaction with nature through the use of ethically sourced taxidermied animals, at the National Trust’s Tasma Terrace.”
