Event Background:
The Melbourne Now Exhibition was the largest exhibition in the history of the National Gallery of Victoria, showcasing a vibrant combination of art, fashion, and design. Over a quarter of a million visitors attended the exhibition, making it one of the most anticipated cultural events in Australia.
The Challenge:
To engage the public in shaping the future of Melbourne, the exhibition aimed to provide an interactive platform for visitors to contribute their ideas and insights on urban design and development.
