The acclaimed Science Gallery network has arrived
As the gateway to Melbourne Connect, University of Melbourne’s innovation precinct, Science Gallery Melbourne includes over 3500 sqm of cutting-edge, immersive exhibition and learning spaces, designed by William Smart at Smart Design Studio. Part of the University’s Museums & Collections department, Science Gallery Melbourne champions an interdisciplinary approach enabling interaction and connectivity between young people, supporting STEAM futures.
Located on the former Royal Women’s Hospital site, at the intersection of Swanston and Grattan Streets, Melbourne Connect is a new precinct for research, industry, government and students in a single, purpose-built site. Read more about the history of the Royal Women’s Hospital in our blog post.
Science Gallery Director, Rose Hiscock said “Smart Design Studio has a track record for creating innovative, highly expressive architectural projects. The iconic White Rabbit Gallery and the multi award-winning residential project Indigo Slam are exceptional architectural projects that are in themselves expressions of scientific and artistic excellence.”
Smart Design Studio was founded in 1997 and has worked on a diverse range of award-winning design projects in the public and cultural domains, including multi-unit residential developments, private residences and commercial and retail spaces.
Creative Director of Smart Design Studio William Smart said: “Open and connected, SGM will invite visitors to an experience that is at once playful and contemplative; to engage deeply or just hang out. This gallery will be inspiring and delightful, a canvas on which to write a new story of science colliding with art and innovation.”
