THE LUME headed for permanent closure in June

After five years and a series of innovative immersive exhibitions, THE LUME is closing the doors of its Melbourne venue.

Five years ago, Grande Experiences, a global company creating projection-based exhibitions, brought THE LUME to Melbourne. Since then, the exhibitions in the space have created employment for over 100 people, drawn in 1.5 million visitors, and generated approximately $180 million for the Victorian economy.

Since 2020 THE LUME has transformed in and out of numerous innovative exhibitions collecting widespread acclaim along the way. Despite the accolades, Grande Experiences has announced that the current Vincent Van Gogh exhibition will be Melbourne’s last, with the doors of THE LUME Melbourne closing on 1 June 2025.
