MCA and Archie Rose Are Opening a Grayson Perry-Inspired Gin Garden
Perfect for post-exhibition tipples.
Gin! Whimsy! Harbour views! These exclamations and crisp local gin cocktails can be yours this summer, as the Museum of Contemporary Art and Archie Rose are opening a Grayson Perry-inspired gin garden. The Gin Garden will be a shady oasis atop the museum from December 4, coinciding with the MCA’s Sydney International Art Series huge exhibition Grayson Perry: My Pretty Little Art Career.
Dubbed "the ultimate celebration of British eccentricity with a twist of Antipodean flair" by the MCA team, the rooftop Gin Garden will see a range of innovative cocktails made with native ingredients and the Signature Dry Gin by Rosebery's Archie Rose — Sydney's first distillery in 160 years. Young Henrys also launched their own Noble Cut gin this year, but they'll be bringing more of their beloved craft beers to the table. They'll be paired with a menu focused on juniper, so prepare your palate for new and glorious adventures in taste.
In addition to snacking and slurping in the garden, of course, you should check out Grayson Perry's highly anticipated exhibition, the first major survey in the southern hemisphere of the works of one of Britain’s most acclaimed contemporary artists. It'll run December 10 to May 1.
The Gin Garden opens at MCA from December 4 to early February. Open Thursdays to Sundays, 4pm to late. Free entry.
