Museum of Desire Presents: A Midsumma Night’s Fantasy, hosted by Jimi The Kween & Diloncé
A celebratory queer playground of glamour, art, pleasure and play — hosted by Jimi The Kween & Diloncé with special guest artists, performers and creators of chaos.
This summer, the Museum of Desire invites you to step into a world where desire is art, art is fabulous, and every expression of identity is not only welcome, but adored.
As part of Midsumma Festival 2026, on Wednesday 21 January Museum of Desire will deliver A Midsumma Night’s Fantasy — an evening immersive art party hosted by the incomparable Jimi The Kween and the ever-sensational Diloncé, alongside a shining constellation of queer artists, performers and creative troublemakers including Saint Eve, Disco Rodeo, Nicky Tsekouras and Nathan Mc Glynn.
This is not just a show you watch.
This is a night you feel, move through, touch, witness, and inhabit.
A Celebration of Love, Fluidity, Self-Expression & Play
Across more than 25 immersive installations, including the show stopping Mirror Room by Melbourne performance artists The Huxleys, as well as other local and international queer art on display, guests are invited to wander, mingle, lounge, flirt, explore and experience the museum in full festive bloom.
Expect art that invites reflection, spaces that encourage connection, and moments of pure joy and mischief.
