IN DETAIL

Hamilton Art Gallery is famous for its outstanding collections of fine and decorative arts including the fabulous Shaw Bequest. Silver, glass and porcelain, oriental ceramic, furniture, paintings and prints, including Australian art, are featured in six modern galleries.
The Gallery’s rare collection of 18th century paintings by Paul Sandby, known as ‘The Father of English Watercolour’ is unrivalled in Australia and beautifully displayed in a recreation of an English drawing room. The other major Sandby collection is owned by the Queen and housed at Windsor Castle.
The Gallery’s permanent collection of 8000 artworks is complemented with a program that features some of the finest temporary exhibitions touring Australia.
