Celebrate 40 Years of Cowabunga: TMNT Heroes in a Half Shell Exhibition

Get ready, Melbourne! The TMNT Heroes in a Half Shell Exhibition has arrived at Docklands, bringing an epic celebration of 40 years of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to life. Presented by Paramount+, this immersive experience invites fans of all ages to explore the history, art, and culture of everyone’s favourite pizza-loving ninjas—Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle

The exhibition is divided into five themed galleries, each showcasing the evolution of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From their humble beginnings as comic book heroes in the 1980s to becoming a global phenomenon spanning animated series, blockbuster movies, and more, the galleries offer a deep dive into the world of TMNT. Expect to see rare artwork, memorabilia, and behind-the-scenes content that highlight the franchise's enduring legacy.

But the fun doesn’t stop with the galleries. Fans can relive their childhood in a mini-theatre, where classic TMNT episodes and exclusive footage are screened. A dedicated arcade zone brings retro gaming vibes with beloved TMNT video games, offering a perfect blend of nostalgia and action.
