THE LUME Melbourne

What an honour to host TEDxMelbourne in our space with Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, holding a lively and thought-provoking discussion about 'Unpacking Genius' - inspired by the legacy of Leonardo da Vinci. Surrounded by all facets of Da Vinci's work, guests experienced a truly immersive journey into the concept of 'genius'.

Some experiences stand out more than others, and none are more exceptional than the beautiful Connection. As an Australian company, this stunning experience holds a special place in our hearts. We are thrilled to announce that Connection won two awards at the TimeOut Group Melbourne Arts & Culture Awards last night: ❤️ People's Choice Best Art Exhibition 2024 ❤️ Critics' Choice Impact Award 2024 The teams at THE LUME Melbourne and Grande Experiences were ably assisted by several individuals who also poured their hearts and souls into this project. We would especially like to shout out to the following for their expert contributions. - Adam Knight - Margo Neale - Wayne Qulliam - Rhoda Roberts - Kate Constantine - Sarrita King - Mark Olive - Rachel and Alex Ischenko We would also like to thank the National Museum of Australia for their collective involvement. Most importantly, we thank all the artists involved who trusted us with their stories. This collective effort created a deeply impactful celebration of First Nations culture. Receiving both the People's Choice Award and the Critics' Impact Award is a true reflection of the hard work and passion that the Grande and THE LUME Melbourne teams have for this powerful and beautiful experience. #Connection #Immersiveart #THELUMEMelbourne #TimeOut #TimeOutMelbourne #ArtsandCultureAwards2024
