Current exhibition

In 2022, while our galleries remain temporarily closed to traditional exhibitions, we are pleased to continue our exhibitions, programs and forums including 21 x 10 – a program aimed squarely at shifting the audience experience beyond the walls of the Museum hosted at Arts West on the Parkville campus.
