Art Talk 6: Worldwide

Drop in, no booking required

A major new display drawn from the collection, Worldwide is inspired by the National Gallery’s founding history and vision to be a ‘centre of art for the whole world’. Drawing together some of the greatest achievements of artists from Australia, Asia, the Pacific, the Americas and Europe, Worldwide celebrates the diversity of art and cultures across the globe and shows how fundamental ideas such as landscape, abstraction, memory, the body and the power of art itself continue to resonate, demonstrating the interconnectedness of culture and our experience of the world.​

Join with Russell Storer, Head Curator, International Art and Curators Imogen Dixon-Smith, Sally Forster, Shaune Lakin, Annie O’Hehir, Simeran Maxwell and Beatrice Thompson for an introduction to Worldwide and to explore the stories behind a selection of works in the new display.

A series of Art Talks across the weekend of the National Gallery’s 40th Anniversary with artists and National Gallery curators sharing stories of works from the collection.
