The Museum was opened in 1983 as a purpose built art gallery for the Howard Hinton Collection and today it is holding both Australian and international collections including Chandler Coventry Collection and NERAM Collection. With these collections and the Howard Hinton Collection together, they offer a comprehensive overview of Australian art history unmatched in regional Australia.

Some of the artists include Streeton, Roberts, Gruner, Preston, Whiteley, Gleeson, Tuckson and Christo to name a few...

Behind-the-scenes guided tours are available for a fee and by appointment only. There is also guided Storeroom Tours which is a rare and unique opportunity for us, the public, to gain access to and enjoy the hidden treasures.

The Museum also hosts a number of active and frequently changing annual exhibitions program with works from its own collections, travelling exhibitions by other galleries and exhibitions of works from leading regional artists.



There is at least one permanent collection exhibition at any one time and their aim is to include works that have not been displayed in recent years, as well as to draw new connections.

Art classes for children and adults as well as workshops are held at the Museum. To get more information about these classes, please visit their website.
