It's in the heart of Melbourne so has the appeal of getting there and going for a stroll around Melbourne after. The show I went to was average. But the 5 stars are for the arts centre itself. Possibly a little dated and I'm sure some fancy architecture costing tens of millions could make it more " insert your art adjectives here". Seating was excellent and I had the cheap seats. If I went again to the same theatre room I would not pay for the better seats at 2X the cost. Easy to get to we drove in and parked 1km away. The train station is closer. Casino close. Food close.

The NGV has a spectacular Yaysoi Kusama exhibition. Spread out across multiple areas, the only downfall was waiting in queues between each immersive room but it was school holidays.

I was lucky enough to head along to the Art Centre for Horizons opening community performance and my god, I can not rave about it enough. If you ever get the chance to see a show from the Bangarra Dance Theatre take it. They have such a beautiful way of storytelling through dance that lights up a room. The Art Centre puts on so many amazing performance but the location itself is something to marvel at. The whole place feels like it’s built to host spectacular productions and it sure does. There’s the most beautiful light fixtures in every room and the bars look like the perfect place for a cocktail before a wonderful evening. There’s so much history on display in each room with sets from previous show in glass cases, and old costumes lining the walls. I love how lively it always feels and the warm theatre tones feel so vibrant and alluring. If there’s any place to catch a show it’s in these beautiful halls. After the show you can also get a photo outside of the towering structure above the many theatres which is lit up each night. It’s right on the river which means just across from the original art centre building are breathtaking city views both on the bridge and from above. Climbing up the stairs above Hammer Hall is always a breathtaking sight and well worth a bit of exploration. If you’re in the city looking to explore or a tourist wanting to catch the sights along with a show this is the place to be!

This was a quaint, small well maintained facility. So nice to be in a small auditorium makes the experience much more individual

It is located right next to the National Gallery of Victoria. At the top of the building is a large structure similar to the Eiffel Tower. There is a nice music exhibition on the ground floor. They exhibited some of the items used by old musicians on stage. I'm sure there were some great plays being watched on the stage inside. ambiance looked great.
