ACMI

City Center Fodor's Choice

One of the cultural linchpins of Federation Square, ACMI is Australia's museum of screen culture, from film to TV, video games, and art. Its remit is to explore the moving image through film festivals and interactive exhibitions, games, and workshops—some focused especially on their youngest visitors. The permanent games lab, with its classic and new games, is an arcade-style experience great for all. The little ACMI kiosk sells sandwiches, salad bowls, and sweets, and there's also a museum shop for unique gifts.

Arts Centre Melbourne

City Center Fodor's Choice

Melbourne's most important cultural landmark is Victoria’s home of live performance and encompasses Hamer Hall, the Theatres Building (housing the State Theatre and other venues) with its iconic spire, and the outdoor Sidney Myer Music Bowl. Enjoy a show or take a tour through the Australian Performing Arts Collection for behind-the-scenes access to Australia's largest performing arts collection. With over 850,000 items, the Collections Store is dedicated to the development, management, preservation, and sharing of Arts Centre Melbourne's extraordinary cultural heritage. Bookings essential. At night, the complex's spire creates a magical spectacle with brilliant fiber-optic cables.
