Mind Games - Art Alive!

Must Do Experiences

• Step into the Moon Room for a few mesmerising minutes of 3D holographic lunar magic suspended in cosmic mystery

• Explore the First Nations artist's ever-changing living space pulsing with colour, rhythm, and pulse

• Pose in the gravity-defying upside-down pink train where the floor becomes the ceiling

• Peek behind the curtain of film illusions to discover how sound, visual tricks, and art conspire to fool your brain

Hidden Gems

• The First Nations artist's living installation is completely unique — no two visits reveal the same patterns or colours

• Several of the 17 artists embed hidden messages and Easter eggs throughout the rooms that most visitors walk right past

• The acoustic design in certain rooms shifts as you move, creating a personal soundscape that changes with your path through the exhibit

What Makes it Special

• Created by 17 visionary artists, each room offers a distinct creative voice rather than a single curated theme

• The Moon Room holographic experience is a rare limited-duration immersive moment that makes every visit feel exclusive

• Every exhibit is fully interactive — you are not a passive observer but an active participant shaping the art around you

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Visit on a weekday morning for the smallest crowds and the most relaxed pace through each room. The exhibition is indoors and climate-controlled, so it is comfortable year-round, but booking during off-peak hours — typically Tuesday through Thursday — ensures you can linger at the Moon Room without waiting. Evening sessions on weekends offer a more atmospheric vibe with the lighting effects appearing even more dramatic.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• The upside-down pink train is the most photographed spot — position yourself near the centre of the carriage for the best gravity-defying perspective

• The Moon Room is best captured during the holographic sequence; avoid flash and use a steady hand or rest your phone against a surface

• Many interactive exhibits respond to movement, so capture short video clips rather than stills to convey the full immersive experience

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Australia values a relaxed and respectful attitude — keep noise to a considerate level so other visitors can enjoy the immersive moments, especially in the Moon Room. Tipping is not expected or customary in Australia. The exhibition embraces inclusivity and diversity, so be mindful that some installations may reference Indigenous Australian culture with sensitivity and respect.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Seasonal after-hours events with live electronic music and extended access to select rooms offer a completely different vibe

• Special family weekends feature guided interactive sessions designed for younger visitors aged six and above

• Limited-time collaborative installations by guest artists are occasionally added, so check the official listing before booking

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Some rooms feature flashing lights and strobe effects — visitors with photosensitivity or epilepsy should exercise caution and consult the staff at entry

• The upside-down train and other gravity-defying rooms involve uneven surfaces and low ceilings; supervise children closely at all times

• Stay hydrated and take a brief pause between rooms if you feel disoriented, as the sensory-rich environment can be overwhelming for some visitors
