Right through Vivid until June 13, the museum will be championing the work of renowned Zenadth Kes (Torres Strait Island) artist Brian Robinson, with the precinct being illuminated after dark by Mythical Mashup: The Graphic Worlds of Brian Robinson.
Robinson’s work already is celebrated in his collaborative exhibition Ur Wayii (Incoming Tide) on show in the museum.
A centrepiece of the museum program will be a one-night event Sea Gathering on Tuesday, June 2
Sea Gathering: Myth and Modernity is a free immersive program which brings together light, music, creating, food, and storytelling in a shared harbourside setting.
The program will combine contemporary visual art, live performance, digital play, hands-on workshops, and cultural storytelling. It operates as a hybrid between a night festival, exhibition activation, and community gathering, offering audiences a flexible and social experience.
Throughout the evening, Robinson will lead small groups to the Action Stations deck to view the large-scale projection, sharing insights into the stories, characters and creative process behind the animation.

Floating Realm, meanwhile, will unfold across the harbour and Cape Bowling Green Lighthouse as a sculptural landscape of LED-lit forms, hovering on the water’s surface and suspended in the sky.
Immersive experiences of animation, illumination and storytelling will be visible at the museum nightly until June 13 from 6-11pm with optimal vantage points at Pyrmont Bridge or King Street Wharf as part of the Vivid Light Walk.
The Museum is also pleased to host Wonderverse by Patch Theatre and a Vivid Moonlight Sea Kayaking Experience by Sydney Harbour Kayas as part of Vivid.
‘Vivid Sydney is a vital moment for the museum each year, giving us a powerful platform to connect audiences with art, culture and storytelling in unforgettable ways," says museum director and CEO Daryl Karp.
