Walk through the mirror maze, then explore 200 metal sculptures

You get access to over 200 metal artworks in Australia's largest indoor scrap metal gallery, plus an interactive mirror maze that plays with space and light.

The Experience

The staff member at the front desk didn't oversell it—she just said, "Walk straight through, you'll know when you've found the Starry Sky part," and handed over the ticket. Metartworld sits right there in Melbourne, and it's the kind of place where you don't quite know what to expect until you're inside and the scale of it hits you. Over 200 metal artworks fill the space, each one built from scrap and salvage, and they're not roped off behind glass. You walk among them, stop where you want, touch the surfaces if you feel like it. The metal is cold and rough in places, smooth where hands have worn it down.

The Starry Sky Exhibition is the part that makes people pause. It's a mirror maze, but calling it that undersells it—the reflections multiply the sculptures, the light, the space itself, until you're not sure which direction you came from or how deep the room actually goes. Kids get genuinely lost in there, laughing. Adults stand still for a moment, trying to work out the geometry. The whole thing is designed so you can move at your own pace; there's no rush, no guide talking over your shoulder, no group waiting behind you. That's the real difference between this and a standard gallery walk.

Metartworld holds a Guinness World Record for the largest indoor scrap metal art gallery, which sounds like a specific claim until you're standing in it and realize they're not exaggerating about the size. The artworks range from abstract pieces to recognizable forms—animals, figures, architectural shapes—all made from reclaimed metal. It's sustainable art in the truest sense: nothing here is new, everything has been salvaged and reimagined. The ticket covers both the main gallery and the mirror maze, and there's no separate fee for the Starry Sky section. Public transport gets you there easily, and the space is accessible for all fitness levels, so you're not climbing stairs or walking uneven ground to see it.

Plan for an hour to ninety minutes if you want to actually look at things and not just move through. Bring a phone if you want to photograph the pieces—the reflections in the maze make for strange, compelling shots. The entry fee includes everything; there's no upsell at the gift shop or pressure to buy a guide. You show up, you explore, you leave when you're ready.
