ArtVo Melbourne | Trick Art Museum

ArtVo in Docklands has reopened (June 2026) with 40 brand-new immersive trick art installations.

ArtVo has long been one of Melbourne's most popular interactive attractions, drawing more than 100,000 visitors each year with its immersive trick-art displays and creative photo opportunities.

What's New

Following a major refresh, ArtVo has reopened with a completely reimagined experience inspired by *Around the World in 80 Days*. The updated gallery features more than 40 new artworks, all painted entirely by hand, creating a series of imaginative and interactive environments for visitors to explore.

Among the new experiences are scenes inspired by Hobbiton, Diagon Alley and Vincent van Gogh's *The Starry Night*, alongside fantasy landscapes, visual illusions and creative challenges designed to delight visitors of all ages.

At a time when digital effects and AI-generated imagery are becoming increasingly common, ArtVo continues to focus on traditional artistic craftsmanship. The new installations were created over many months by artists dedicated to hand-painting every detail, resulting in an experience that celebrates imagination, creativity and the enduring appeal of handmade art.

While much of the gallery has been transformed, some original favourites remain, offering returning visitors a blend of familiar attractions and brand-new experiences.

Interactive Art Experience

As Australia's first immersive trick-art gallery, ArtVo invites visitors to become part of the artwork. Rather than simply viewing exhibits, guests can step inside the scenes, pose for photographs and interact with the illusions to create memorable images and experiences.

The self-guided gallery has been designed to encourage exploration and creativity, making it popular with families, friends, couples and visitors looking for something a little different.
