The Loctite Museum of Second Chances

On Thursday, October 16, Melbourne’s @14 Gallery will be transformed into The Museum of Second Chances — a one-night-only exhibition where broken, forgotten, and everyday objects are reimagined as works of art, all brought back to life with Loctite glue.

Part TikTok series, part real-life gallery takeover, this exhibition celebrates the quirky and heartfelt stories behind everyday items given new life. From fridge magnets to iconic DIY creations, each object has been repaired and elevated, serving as a reminder that what’s broken isn’t always lost.

The Museum of Second Chances brings Loctite’s digital-first campaign to life as a physical, high-impact brand moment designed to celebrate creativity, sustainability, and second chances.

What to Expect:

• A bespoke Loctite Glue Station, styled as an analogue photo lab by Yuji Ohnishi and Martina’s Tiny Store.
• A live mosaic artwork created in real time by Melbourne artist Eric Sesto, built entirely using Loctite glue.
• A curated display of DIY art from TikTok influencer Candy Brat, bridging social media culture and in-person artistry.

This one-night event is part of Loctite’s national #museumofsecondchances campaign — a TikTok-led initiative developed in partnership with creative agency Kill Boring Dead. The campaign invites people to share their own repaired items for a chance to win a $1,500 prize pack. It’s an omnichannel push designed to engage and inspire creativity while reinforcing Loctite’s reputation for trusted, long-lasting performance.
