WHEN 19 Dec 20 - 18 Apr 21 Rain Room Is back in Melbourne  Photo: Melbourne with Kidz RANDOM INTERNATIONAL's unmissable Rain Room returns. Brought to Australia as part of Jackalope Hotel's ambitious art collection, a record 90,000 visitors 'controlled the weather' during its sell-out 2019 season, making it Melbourne's most talked about - and Instagrammed - solo art exhibition of recent memory.  Photo: Melbourne with Kidz An international art sensation that has also taken London, New York, Shanghai and Los Angeles by storm, Rain Room is 100 square metre expanse of torrential rainfall that you control with your movement, allowing you to take centre stage in a mesmerising merging of art, technology, and nature.  Photo: Melbourne with Kidz The epitome of socially distant art, Rain Room is the perfect piece for the time. Small groups experience the work together and are encouraged to explore the space in solitude. The result, a remarkably cleansing and contemplative experience, as visitors are consumed by a soothing rainstorm, all the while being completely protected from its forces. If you missed out last year, be sure to book tickets for Rain Room's second summer season. Jackalope Pavilion, VIC
