Exhibits
For most visitors to the Mulva, the exhibits will be the main event. Throughout the year, guests can expect to encounter a rotating roster of exhibits that go beyond traditional categorizations, which means there's always something new and exciting to explore.
Current & Upcoming Exhibits
Dino Safari
Hop into a time machine and prepare to go wayyyy back! Visitors to the dino safari will be awestruck as giant, lifelike dinosaurs from across the globe come to life in this immersive walk-through experience. This exhibit is currently running until May 12th, 2024.
The Bricktionary: The Ultimate LEGO A-Z
Explore over 150 meticulously crafted LEGO models, including some of the largest LEGO creations ever assembled! Guests will also get to unleash their own LEGO creativity with some hands-on brick-building activities. This exhibit runs June 6th, 2024 to September 2nd, 2024
Sharks!
Created by the esteemed Australian Museum and drawing record crowds during its debut showing, Sharks! invites guests to dive into an immersive journey to learn about these ancient creatures of the deep. The Mulva Cultural Center is one of only four stops in the country for this extraordinary exhibit, so don't miss your chance to experience it between October 5th, 2024, and January 5th, 2025.
Films
After you’ve fully experienced the exhibits, why not sit back and relax in the Mulva’s 200-seat state-of-the-art auditorium for a film? Documentary and feature films related to the current exhibit’s theme are shown on a regular schedule; check their signage or website for more information!
Workshops
If you want a more hands-on experience, the Mulva’s got you covered there, too! Fun workshops and events are offered throughout the year for members and non-members to enjoy. Participants can learn things like how to fold a giant origami T-Rex, paint abstract art (while sipping a glass of Pinot), and bind books using classic techniques.
Food
Of course, you can’t have a world-class cultural center without world-class dining to go with it! The Mulva has two excellent food options for visitors—Savour on Broadway and Gourmet on the Go. Head to Savour on Broadway for a truly gourmet experience and select from a diverse menu of innovative, modern dishes like the crispy rice ahi tuna stack or teriyaki salmon. Gourmet on the Go offers more approachable — but just as delicious options — like specialty coffee, pastries, and casual fare.
Gift Shop
Before you head out, make sure to visit the Mulva’s large contemporary gift shop, Splurge, and treat yourself to a souvenir or special treasure. And don’t worry about FOMO if you can’t visit in person — you can shop for gifts from Splurge online!
Pricing & Membership
The Mulva Center offers year-round membership options and special benefits for members like advance ticket times and gift shop discounts. There are six different membership options beginning at $125 which includes two advance tickets for all exhibits for the year.
If you’re not ready to commit to a full membership, you can still purchase one-time exhibit and event tickets anytime. Visit the website for more information about membership and exhibit tickets.
