WONDERLUST New journeys Your collection

Introducing Wonderlust! It's more than an exhibition - it's a bold re-imagining of the entire State Art Collection. Rather than using the traditional practice of grouping works by their historical or cultural origin, we've grouped them through their meaning. You can explore ideas and emotions, and discover whole new journeys through some extraordinary art, much of which hasn't been on show for years.
