Due to overwhelming demand, Rone will be releasing a very limited batch of tickets to Empire at Burnham Beeches.
These tickets are for a newly added 5.30pm session running Thursday – Saturday only.
Tickets will go on sale at 9am on Monday 25 March. Visit https://tickets.r-o-n-e.com/.
These will be the last available opportunities to experience EMPIRE before the mansion is returned to its former state, and the exhibition dismantled.
Yarra Ranges Tourism are also running a Shuttle Bus from Belgrave Station to the Piggery Cafe at Burnham Beeches for only $5 return. You can check out more info here: SHUTTLE SERVICE Departing Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Rone has transformed 12 rooms with interior stylist Carly Spooner, who helped find 500 antiques to fill the space. This is accompanied by haunting soundscapes from Nick Batterham, which include ambient sounds recorded at the site, as well as floral installations that mimic nature taking over the site.
“What we’re trying to do is tell a more personal story, once you start to look around you feel like you’re in someone’s personal space and really feel that loss,” Rone said.
