The McClelland Collection:
50 Years

15 May -
15 August 2021

In its fifty year history, McClelland has developed a significant collection of over 2600 works in all media through significant gifts, bequests and acquisition funds. The gallery’s focus has largely been on spatial practice in various forms – from sculpture and video, to photography, printmaking and painting. This exhibition surveys key works from the McClelland collection, which together offer a unique engagement with our environment, exploring diverse experiences of the natural, domestic, social, and conceptual spaces we inhabit.

Augustine Dall’Ava, Richard Giblett, Stephen Haley, Inge King, Janet Laurence, Akio Makigawa, Fiona McMonagle, Sanné Mestrom, Ron Mueck, Patricia Piccinini, Ken Reinhard, Tim Silver, Kylie Stillman, Colin Suggett, Simon Terrill, George Tjungarrayi, Lisa Waup.

McClelland acknowledges the Bunurong / Boon Wurrung people of the South-Eastern Kulin Nation as the Traditional Custodians of the lands and waters on which we are placed.


We are a safe, welcoming space for all people.

As a not-for-profit organisation, McClelland relies largely on the support of visitors through entry fees and donations to help conserve and build the collection, curate inspiring exhibitions and public programs, and care for the beautiful sculpture park and bushland setting for all to enjoy.
