Host an event at FUMA

FUMA is located on the ground floor, Social Sciences North Building adjacent to Carpark 5. We have oversight of four interconnected spaces which are bookable for Finders University events subject to restrictions on exhibitions, availability and approval.

Generally, FUMA spaces are available for University events weekdays from 7am - 10am and 5pm – 9pm. FUMA is closed during the installation of new exhibitions, on public holidays and through January, and is not bookable during these periods.

FUMA spaces lend themselves to small-medium scale launches, celebrations and/or ceremonies.

Please submit an Event booking request form if you are interested in booking of our spaces or contact the museum if you would like more information.
