Saturday Sessions at Melbourne Museum — July
Explore exhibitions and talks, plus tunes by Soju Gang, when Melbourne Museum launches its new after-hours parties.
Overview
Melbourne's scored itself a swag of new must-see exhibitions this season — and now there's an extra dose of after-hours fun to add to your cultural calendar, too. Coinciding with the launch of its newest exhibition Tyama, Melbourne Museum is kicking off a fresh series of monthly after-dark parties.
Launching Saturday, July 30, the new Saturday Sessions will invite punters in to explore the precinct after it's normally closed; browsing its galleries, kicking back to DJ tunes and catching special curator chats.

At this inaugural edition, you'll enjoy after-hours access to the immersive projections and special effects of Tyama, as well as the ancient Greek artefacts of Open Horizons and the world's most complete Triceratops, star of the Triceratops: Fate of the Dinosaurs exhibition.
Then, hit the dance floor to a gig by celebrated DJ and Gunai/Kurnai, Yorta Yorat and Wiradjuri woman, Soju Gang. There'll also be a program of illuminating talks tied to the Museum's current exhibitions and pop-up bars stocked with bevs to lubricate those cultural wanderings.
Saturday Sessions runs from 5pm–9pm. Entry to the event is $15 for adults, though you'll need to grab an additional ticket for access to Tyama.
