The Australian exclusive DIVA exhibition at Arts Centre Melbourne will close on 26 April, with half-price tickets now available for its final weeks.
Visitors heading to the DIVA showcase can also take advantage of free public transport across Victoria throughout April, lowering the barrier for a last look at the international hit.
The exhibition marks the debut of the Australian Museum of Performing Arts and has drawn steady crowds since opening, featuring more than 250 objects including 60 costumes, alongside jewellery, photography and artwork.
Developed by London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, the exhibition brings together costumes worn by global performers including Cher, Tina Turner, Elton John, Marilyn Monroe, Adele and Rihanna.
Australian performers are also featured, with costumes from Kylie Minogue, Olivia Newton-John, Cate Blanchett and Jessica Mauboy among the highlights.
Arts Centre Melbourne CEO Karen Quinlan said interest in the exhibition had remained strong.
“It has been incredibly encouraging over the past few months to see such enthusiasm for AMPA’s debut exhibition. As DIVA enters its final days here in Melbourne, we’re making it more accessible and affordable for everyone to experience world-class arts and culture. With free public transport across Victoria this month, there’s never been a better time to visit AMPA at Arts Centre Melbourne.”
A new podcast series, The Dress and the Diva, has also launched alongside the exhibition, with interviews hosted by Jacinta Parsons. The series features conversations with contributors including designer Bob Mackie and performer Marcia Hines.
DIVA closes on 26 April 2026. To find out more and purchase tickets head to artscentremelbourne.com.au.
