What is Wonderment Walk Victoria?

Wonderment Walk aims to create open-air galleries which excite and inspire, galleries without walls and without boundaries, open to the public free of entry or exhibition charges.

Our projects are drawn from an arts base but also combine science and mathematical disciplines. The works are intended to engage the public in the art whilst inspiring curiosity and encouraging innovative thoughts and expression. Beginning in, but not limited to, the city of Melbourne, the artworks will form walks around the city connecting various attractions in and around trafficked areas.

Having a sculpture walk is very good. Melbourne people will use it, will appreciate it. And still be surprised by it.

Both Questacon and Wonderment Walk have a shared imperative – communicating scientific ideas and phenomena in an accessible, relevant and engaging way to diverse audiences. Appreciation for and a deep interaction with science, maths, engineering and technology contributes significantly to what makes a city socially and economically vibrant and viable. Wonderment Walk’s plight to grow awareness around and interaction with these areas of knowledge will contribute significantly to making Melbourne a dynamic city of curiosity, discovery and surprise. Questacon is delighted to be a supporter of Wonderment Walk and looks forward to seeing the project grow and develop over the coming years.

Wonderment Walk is a way of intermingling science and everyday life. . . They become part of your life, as indeed science should be.

Wonderment Walk is important because it is a way for Melbourne to keep on making itself interesting and relevant, so by adding this twist of science and art and technology, you’re really providing a spark to the city.

Working together we can achieve things that you could never achieve doing alone. Wonderment Walk is going to be an example of a new sort of public-private partnership that is going to involve all of these facets of society, all conspiring make Melbourne still more liveable, still more inspiring.

Victoria University and Wonderment Walk Victoria are working together to inspire our local communities in a way that promotes the intersect between the Arts and STEM disciplines. We see great potential in the development of public artworks to provoke, promote, reflect and reveal, and this underpins the ways in which we will collaborate at our campuses and in our broader communities. As the University of Opportunity, we are excited by the potential of publicart, and believe that its characteristics as a freely available, accessible and community-focused form of expression match our values as an organisation.

La Trobe University’s Vision is to become a vibrant centre of culture, creativity, recreation and education in Melbourne’s North. This Vision aligns with Wonderment Walk Victoria’s commitment to strengthen Melbourne’s reputation as a creative city of knowledge, combining science, mathematics and art in accessible open spaces, which excite and inspire. We congratulate Wonderment Walk on their aspirations, and look forward to working with them in achieving our shared Visions.

I think Wonderment Walk is an affirmation by one leading citizen with colleagues and friends who are supportive of their belief in the city. They are making a decision to invest in the artistic infrastructure of the city in a very exciting and novel way. So it’s a ten out of ten project.

As Victoria’s foundational institution for research and higher learning, the University of Melbourne welcomes the Wonderment Walk initiative and its aspiration to draw together principles of science with artistic expression through a series of intriguing public installations. Most importantly, the Wonderment Walk represents Melbourne’s cultural ambition and our global standing as a vibrant Knowledge Capital.
