Touring 2009–2012

Menagerie: Contemporary Indigenous Sculpture

National Museum of Australia
ACT, 14 July – 14 October 2012

Menagerie is currently on show at the Australian Museum, until 2 March 2014.

Menagerie is a unique and groundbreaking exhibition that exposes the richness and breadth of contemporary Indigenous sculpture in Australia. After opening at Object and the Australian Museum in 2009, it has now completed its three year national tour. The Australian Museum has acquired the collection, and intends to display it again once it returns home.

If you saw the exhibition at any of its locations across Australia during its tour, we would love to know what you thought of this major touring exhibition.

Full tour dates included after the jump.

It includes both well-known and emerging artists, who have each produced outstanding sculptural works depicting a variety of animals. Through these works, the artists share with us their cultural knowledge, expressions of identity and connections to country. Menagerie was developed through a collaboration with the Australian Museum.
