ArtVo Melbourne is a self-guided gallery suitable for small to large groups. At 1,400 metres, it’s home to numerous themed zones, each with its own masterfully crafted illusions.
Its newest theme, Fantasy, lets you enter the depths of the ocean, walk on space and polar ice caps (minus the extreme cold!), and interact with wild animals in a forest. The zone for dreamscape art unearths the abstract and surreal, making for fantastic photo ops that will puzzle and fascinate your IG followers!
Feel free to take lots of photos; the friendly staff are ready to help you so no friend or family member is left out of the photo!
