If you think Melbourne Museum is a destination only for the pram-pushing set, think again.
For one night only on Thursday 1 March, Melbourne Museum is hosting SmartBar a summer pop-up bar that presents drinks and DJ tunes along with a dose of science and history, taxidermy and a dissection. Dazzle your friends with your wealth of knowledge, browse the Science and Life gallery exhibits after hours without tripping over toddlers or just enjoy a bar experience that’s a little bit different.
A limited number of tickets are available by phone 13 11 02 or online or you can enter this giveaway!
Thanks to Melbourne Museum, I have 2 x double passes to the SmartBar to give away. To win, all you have to do is leave a comment and the winners will be drawn randomly on Monday 27 February. Good luck!
6:00 PM – 10:00 PM

Keep up the good work. Can always count on this blog to introduce me to new eateries in Melbourne and fun places to visit.
As a butterfly and animal obsessive from way back this sounds right up my alley…what a fantastic idea. Melbourne really is the arts capital of Australia!
Sounds amazing, I would love to go!
Pick meeeeeeeeeeeee! I want to bring a friend who’s new to Melbourne!
I thought i was the only one who found the art of taxidermy fascinating and strangely beautiful.. i think this is a great idea! wacky and cool and very melbourne.
geeking out with wine is actually my ideal evening out!
fascinating!!
neat!!!
A night of lounging and poking sticks at quirky stuff. Sounds pretty interesting to me!
Thanks!
I saw this in The Age the other week – and I know one of the guys that was in the pic for the story
Would love to win this – sounds right up my alley! I love the museum so it would be cool to hang out there without ankle-biters around 😉
Sounds really quirky and fun! Would love a chance to win the passes.
Sounds amazing!
If I get one my boyfriend will finally get a dose of culture – no excuse not to go when there’s a free beer involved!
A night out with a twist. Sounds fantastic.
The posters look really cute! Would love to check this out!
Sounds positively delightful!
Cool! Smart people, animals and after work drinks all in the same place!
Drinks and taxidermy finally combined! Let me in!
Oooh butterflies & beer = delightful. pls count me in
You gotta be in it to win it! If it was up to me, EVERY pop-up bar should feature taxidermy and a dissection.
Thats so awesome! Would love to be apart of something like that, exactly the kind of break I need from work!
I’m part of the pram-pushing set that visits the Melbourne Museum, but would be more than happy to go just with hubby for once
Love it! What a super idea, I hope I win the tix 😉
This sounds amazeballs! What a unique experience, I know who I’d take my science-nerd bf.
An interesting date night from non-typical from dinner or movies. 😀

animal carcasses and booze are right up my street.
Oooh this sounds like much fun, and looks quite lovely – check out those uber cool graphics! Oooh, oooh, ooooh – may I be the winner? Pretty please?
Love the idea, cute and creepy all at once.
Finally, science nerds can get their drink on!
Kitsch + little nerdy = cool. Gotta love Melbourne Arts scene!
This lands on mine and my boyfriend’s 1 year anniversary. The museum was the one of our first dates places! I’d absolutely love to win these tickets
Brilliant!
I went to a simliar night at the Cal Academy of Sciences and it was awesome.
How fabulous! New to Melbourne so would be a great event to attend!
Yes please!
A great idea! I have been wanting to get to the Museum since moving to Melbourne and now I have no excuses. I hope there are more nights like this on offer
Pick me, PICK ME!
Sounds amazing! I’d love to attend!
oh yes! I heard about this on RRR today and it sounds awesome. Would LOVE to go!
This sounds great !!!
I thought I entered this! My comment mustn’t have gone through. Lucky I checked!
Smart!
sounds like fun.
All of my kids have finally left home, an adult night out sounds great!
Yes please!
Good idea. Hope the pieces come together (or apart for dissection) and it all works well …
I adore this idea, and strongly believe they should make it a permanent fixture. Imagine if it were every Thursday night, or if they created a “Smart Bar” popup somewhere central like in the QV or Arts Centre foreground – it’s the perfect tone & concept for Melbourne to really get its teeth into.
Love it! Anything combining the Arts and Science is great!
Sounds perfect. Knowledge is fun
