About our events

For corporate events including conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies, product launches, Christmas parties, exhibitions, press briefings, film premieres and team-building we have a range of innovative and interactive galleries, as diverse in size as subject matter.

The 416-seat IMAX cinema and a 700 square metre blank-canvas space are also available for daytime or evening corporate hire, as well as smaller dedicated daytime conference facilities such as the elegant Directors Suite or the contemporary and wired Dana Centre.

For private celebratory events, including engagement, wedding, anniversary or retirement parties and bar or bat mitzvahs, the stunning Museum galleries, ranging from the traditional and elegant to the contemporary and interactive, are available to hire after 18:00 daily.
