MCA’s 21st Birthday Shenanigans

Overview

Twenty-one years ago an Art Deco building along the unfashionable side of Circular Quay opened up as Sydney’s newest art gallery. This new Museum of Contemporary Art turned out to be a combination of brash and austere, guiding its eager Australian audiences through modern local and overseas art. A two decade sweep culminating in the gallery’s majority is being celebrated this weekend with the MCA’s 21st Birthday Shenanigans, which invite you to come play, sing and hunt through the museum’s newly renovated art and architecture.

The museum proposes you join in a happy-birthday-singing flash mob, send a message to your 21-year-old self (unless you are in fact 21, in which case, why wait?) and is sending mobs of people racing around the place in a Palinesque hunt Around the Museum in 21 Minutes.

The hunt runs at 11am, 1pm and 3pm. It’s free, but you’ll need to register in advance.
