ArtVO

ArtVo is a fun way to spend an afternoon down at the Docklands, with a unique take on presenting pieces of artwork by a variety of artists.

The art museum thrives on a type of art called Trick Art. Just as the name suggests, this form of art tricks the human brain into believing that the picture presented is in 3D.

This form of art incorporates the use of special painting skills that create an optical illusion. The fun part is that visitors can insert themselves into the artwork by taking photos which makes them look like they are within the picture.

ArtVo has a number of different gallery zones, including Pharaoh’s Treasures, Dimensional Dreams, Aussie Pride, Imagine, Enchanted Garden, Fantasia, World Tour, Australiana, Aquatic Adventure, Jungle Safari and Classic Crescent.

This is a place that is best enjoyed with friends, so make sure to bring a group and your camera as the whole purpose of visiting here is to get involved. In most cases, you need to take off your shoes to protect the artwork so wear footwear that is easy to slip on and off.

The interactive gallery takes around 2 hours to go around, depending on your involvement, so make sure to give yourself enough time. There is also a cafe located at the site, where you can grab food and drink. ArtVo is also wheelchair-accessible to enjoy the full immersive gallery experience.

You can get to ArtVo by taking the City Circle Tram and alighting at HarbourTown. Alternatively, take the #70 tram (via Flinders Street) or #86 (Via Bourke Street) and alight at the Harbour Town tram stop. If driving, there is also a multi-level car-park located on-site.
