Monash University Museum of Art

Monash University Museum of Art is a contemporary art museum in Caulfield East with flexible exhibition spaces inside a modernist building. The rooms are designed to accommodate different types of artworks and installations.

The museum was founded in 1961 when the university's vice chancellor created a fund to support living Australian artists. This founding idea shaped the museum's direction ever since.

The museum regularly displays works by Australian artists, creating a space where the country's contemporary art scene comes alive. Visitors can see how local artists explore themes that matter to today's Australian society.

The museum is open to the public and offers exhibitions with free entry. Visitors can also attend artist talks and workshops that take place regularly throughout the year.

In the Ian Potter Sculpture Court on the museum grounds, visitors can see artworks that represent Indigenous cultures, some displayed as permanent installations. This outdoor area shows how contemporary art and traditional perspectives meet.
