Rug up and head west for a magical midwinter at Scienceworks, with the museum set to transform into a cosy celebration of science and creativity.
To mark Pride Month, Scienceworks is celebrating the stories written in the stars, with a queer twist.
Every Saturday in June, the Melbourne Planetarium presents Stargayzing – a unique guided journey through the cosmos exploring celestial stories with LGBTQIA+ connections.
From mythological figures to space missions with queer links, each session reveals a different side of the night sky, shaped by the stars and planets visible that evening.
No two shows are the same – each one is a cosmic celebration of queer stories woven into the universe.Scienceworks After Dark: Winter Solstice
Scienceworks will also hold a special adults-only event on Friday, June 21, to mark the Winter Solstice.
Running from 6-10pm, the Winter Solstice party will celebrate the longest night of the year.
Attendees can enjoy mulled wine under a glowing moon installation, dance to live DJs, explore the new Tinkertown exhibition and catch a stunning Planetarium show exploring how the sun shapes our seasons.
The night will also feature storytelling, hands-on solstice crafts and a photo booth to capture your moonlit moment.
Tickets include access to Tinkertown and a Planetarium session of your choice.
