Located on the Ground Floor of Science Gallery Melbourne, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking Swanston Street, the Ground Floor Galleries are dynamic spaces that can be utilised to host a variety of event sizes and types.

I like their exhibition space, it’s free for students and visitors. They also have a cafe serving coffee for about 3 dollars which is amazing nowadays. They have a Sci Fi exhibition going on which you guys can check it out, lots of interactive spaces and cool art displays.

Staff were rude and elitist. Felt out of place. They were unkind and precious. Tried to really enjoy art works and was harassed when I was being cool and wanted to share and spread the great ideas. Thanks for nothing. Strange self obsessed precious young fakers.

Such lovely, friendly and welcoming staff. A nice place to visit. You get to explore science and art put together. Many stunning pieces of artwork. Huge space with so much to offer. New cafe onsite as well which offers a nice range. The pasta was delicious and our coffees were too. Also the pastrami sandwich was so good. Service was lovely as well.

Well, this was a little different from what I expected for a science galley, more of an art gallery than science. It was still a lot of fun for the whole family. A great little cafe , where you can get a good coffee and chill out before heading off on your next adventure.
