What to expect
Featuring sculptural, photographic and filmic works by the Australian artist Patricia Piccinini, the immersive exhibition HOPE taps into our hopes and fears about the impact of science on humanity. Her hyperrealistic and surreal works, often rooted in art historical forms, explore various “unexpected consequences”, whether negative or positive. HOPE raises important questions about the nature of history, progress, and technology, and ponders our collective ability to create warm and caring relationships and to live lovingly with each other.

It is worth watching the exquisite craftsmanship, the characters come to life, the layout is reasonable, and the story is complete. The souvenirs are not very attractive and do not fit the theme.
it is a fantastic exhibition.
i love this exhibition so much. if i have chance, i will be there again.
The exhibition is very special~! Lots of memory points! is a good experience
an amazing and experimental exhibition. Follow my Instagram for more: @bryanthui
Wonderful exhibition. It's very true. You can get a slight discount by buying tickets online first, so you don't have to queue up to buy them at the time. It's worth seeing, it's shocking.
Nice experience and worth a visit. Not crowded in weekdays and the atmosphere is nice. Will recommend.
Nice arrangement, easily access with pre booked ticket
A lot of fun, a great experience ! It was surreal to be surrounded by art in this form
It is a highly recommended and in-depth work that can be used immediately after purchase. Students need to bring their student card.
