Eonarium Enlightenment

Spring, summer, autumn, winter – Vivaldi’s Four Seasons’ violin concertos have been enthralling music lovers for around 300 years. And now, there’s an enchanting new way to enjoy these classical pieces. The Immigration Museum is playing host to Eonarium Enlightenment, an immersive sound and light show from April 24 until May 31. 

Dreamed up by Zurich-based art collective Projecktil, this globally acclaimed experience arrives in Melbourne for the first time, following an acclaimed run across Europe and the UK, and after making its Australian debut in Brisbane. 

The majestic halls of the Immigration Museum's beautifully restored Old Customs House will come alive with sweeping 360-degree light projections as they dance across heritage walls and ceilings in awe-inspiring waves of colour – all set in time to Vivaldi’s iconic score. The cinematic visuals pull you right into the four seasons as spring blossoms, summer shines, autumn mellows and winter settles in.

Equal parts meditative and mesmerising, this immersive sound and light show is perfect for the entire family. Whatever you do, make sure you arrive early for your booked time slot as the experience only lasts for 30 minutes. So, sink into a beanbag (premium seating) or a chair (standard seating) and look up!
