The Seagulls head into Melbourne CBD to visit THE LUME at the Convention Centre ... here are the words from The LUME website, as they can describe best this truely stunning experience...

...THE LUME Melbourne invites you on a spellbinding journey through the vibrant world of French Impressionism. Daring, intriguing and uplifting, much like the works of the Impressionists themselves, Monet & Friends compels you to leave the world behind as you step inside this fascinating period of modern art. 
Accompany some of the world’s most fearless artists of their time on an exhilarating adventure across 19th century bohemian Paris and countryside France. Young and old will be plunged into Monet’s Water Lilies and dancing with Degas’ ballerinas in this stunning explosion of life, light and colour.
