Melbourne Museum’s most spine-tingling night of the year is returning in 2026 and it’s going to be more spectacular than ever.
Halloween at the Museum 2026 will transform Melbourne Museum into a freakishly fun Friday night celebration for the whole family. Discover the strange and the sublime, with wildly entertaining activities for all ages, before the night takes a darker turn with extraordinary after-dark adventures for adults.
In 2026, The Haunted Gala will make its dazzling debut – an adult only, frightening affair fusing costume glamour, theatrical performance and the thrill of the unknown across the Melbourne Museum and Royal Exhibition Building. This will be the event of the Halloween season for spooky style-makers and night owls alike.
In 2025, more than 4,200 thrill-seekers joined us for a night to remember. Don’t miss your chance to be part of next year’s unforgettable experience.
