THE LUME Melbourne is breathing new life into the most essential visual art from around the world. Both playful and profound, exhilarating and liberating, THE LUME Melbourne is an invitation to see art in a whole new light.

Melbourne, Australia-based Grande Experiences is an art and culture company with a global footprint, dedicated to the art of storytelling and the creation of transformative journeys of discovery.

Since 2006, Grande Experiences has created and produced over 220 touring and permanent exhibitions and experiences in more than 170 cities to 20+ million visitors, bringing to life the genius and masterpieces of artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Leonardo da Vinci, Claude Monet and the French Impressionists, as well as the beauty and wonder of nature and science.

The Grande Experiences’ story began when owner and founder, Bruce Peterson, relocated to Italy with his young family, to work closely with world experts on a new Leonardo da Vinci exhibition (artisans, historians, and scientific engineers in both Italy and France). With their invaluable assistance, Bruce successfully developed the first large-scale, comprehensive, touring exhibition dedicated to Leonardo da Vinci. The vision was to take the fascinating story of Da Vinci to people around the world, so they could be enthralled and inspired by his genius. 16 years on, it remains the largest and most detailed exhibition of the Italian master’s works anywhere in the world and is still running in Rome, Italy.

Grande Experiences has pioneered the global move from artefact-based exhibitions, to multimedia exhibitions, to fully integrated multi-sensory immersive experiences, large and small. The art of storytelling bursts into life, engaging all the senses simultaneously, immersing the visitor in an ocean of moving image, music, light, sound and even smell. Today Grande Experiences is one of the leading exhibition companies in the world.
