Hamilton Art Gallery, one of the finest galleries in Australia, is famous for its outstanding international collections of fine and decorative arts.

Silver, glass and porcelain, oriental ceramics, tapestries, furniture, paintings and prints are featured in six modern galleries. Many of the treasures once decorated gracious country homesteads of Australia Felix, the first area of white settlement in Victoria.

The Gallery's unique collection offers a stimulating experience for all visitors and is an excellent resource for students of art and history. The permanent collection is complemented with a program of temporary exhibitions.

Further Information: The fabulous Shaw Bequest featuring 800 items of exquisite English and European silver, glass, porcelain, miniatures and oriental ceramics reflects the collecting interests of Herbert and May Shaw of 'Kiama' near Hamilton. This generous bequest made in 1957 was the beginnings of a collection that is today vast, fascinating, diverse and unique.
Further Information: The Gaussen collection of paintings by Paul Sandby (1731-1809), considered to be the father of English watercolour, is unrivalled in Australia and second to the Queen's collection.
