This survey of the University’s Art Collection has been compiled in celebration of Deakin University’s 50 year anniversary, taking audiences on a journey through our 50 years of collecting. Pieces are displayed marking significant milestones alongside new acquisitions, allowing visitors to explore not only the collection’s origins, but also its ongoing development and reflect on the shifting trends in contemporary Australian art.

Launching in conjunction with this exhibition will be an updated publication about the collection as well as a recently launched publicly accessible searchable art collection database. 

Free Admission

Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm (closed on public holidays)
