Hamilton Gallery

Opened in 1961 on Gunditjmara, Tjap Wurrung and Bungandidj Country, Hamilton Gallery holds 10,000 works across a range that runs from an c.1745 Meissen porcelain service to Patricia Piccinini's fibreglass *Shoeform (sprout)* and John Wolseley's wool-and-cotton tapestry of the local volcanic plains. Sydney Nolan, Albert Namatjira, Howard Arkley — the depth here is genuinely surprising for a regional town.
