About

A concentrated presentation of Australian collection highlights is on display during QAG's Collection Storage Upgrade. This stunning salon hang includes some audience favourites — iconic paintings by Rupert Bunny, Vida Lahey, R Godfrey Rivers, Russell Drysdale and Nora Heysen, and many others.

QAG Collection Upgrade

The art storage capacity at the Gallery is being increased by 30 per cent with the construction of a new mezzanine level and modernised storage systems in QAG's collection store. As part of this upgrade, the Australian collection display is currently closed. This space will be used to accommodate the Collection for the duration of the project, and is scheduled to reopen in September 2017. In the meantime, enjoy Australian collection highlights in 'Moving Pictures'.
