Science Gallery Melbourne is a bold addition to our city, exploring the collision of art and science. Through its exhibitions, programs and events, it plays a vital role in shifting our understanding of science, art and innovation. Part of the acclaimed Global Science Gallery Network, and embedded in the University of Melbourne's Museums & Collections department, the Gallery is a dynamic new model for engaging 15-25 year olds with science. The Gallery opened in 2021 as part of Melbourne Connect – a new innovation precinct developed by the University of Melbourne on the corner of Grattan Street and Swanston Street. It's also the home of the STEM Centre of Excellence, funded by the Department of Education and Training, running STEAM programs for 25 partner schools in the Melbourne area.
