Sharing the National Collection

Home to the most valuable collection of art in Australia, the national collection comprises over 155,000 works of art, including the world’s largest collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Our significant collection represents the whole of Australian art, modern art worldwide, particularly from Europe and America, and art from across Asia and the Pacific. The collection includes some of the finest examples in Australia of French Impressionism, Dada and Surrealism, the Russian avant-garde, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, Minimalism and Conceptual Art.

Under the National Cultural Policy ‘Revive’, the National Gallery’s Sharing the National Collection initiative will receive $11.8 million over 4 years. This support will allow us to share some of our much-loved works with regional and suburban galleries, and cultural institutions across the country on long-term loans.

The National Gallery is committed to sharing the national collection with all Australians and is excited to partner with you to share this loan with your community.
