Monash Gallery of Art is celebrating our 30th anniversary in 2020, and as part of this exciting milestone, we have reproduced images from MGA’s nationally and culturally significant collection of Australian photographs. The images have been printed in partnership with LUMAS Australia, who boast an exciting repertoire of museum quality, limited edition fine art and photographic artworks – all at an accessible price. With works by over 250 established artists and promising newcomers, LUMAS delivers a comprehensive look into the contemporary art and design scenes.
