Opening late 2024
A permanent, dedicated space for you to experience the Bundanon Collection
Bundanon’s Next Chapter
The Boyd Collection Gallery is a timely and important addition to Bundanon’s offering, which will elevate the Boyd family’s creative legacy and ensure the Collection is always accessible within the Art Museum.
Showcasing highlights alongside lesser-known works, the Boyd Collection Gallery will support Bundanon’s artist educators to develop inspiring, multi-generational learning experiences that build a deeper connection to the stories of Bundanon including Australian landscape painting, First Nations stories and the Artists-in-Residence program.
The gallery will build connections between Bundanon’s sites, from the Art Museum to the Homestead and Arthur Boyd’s Studio, and support the exchange and loan of works between Bundanon and its national peers.
This new gallery space will shape the future of our organisation and share the stories of Bundanon for generations to come.
“This development will provide the public with greater access to Bundanon’s prized Collection, and expand the visitor experience, every week of the year.” – Rachel Kent, CEO
History of the Collection
The Collection offers a window into the philosophy and practice of one of Australia’s most iconic artists.
It reveals Arthur & Yvonne Boyd’s commitment to their family’s artistic legacy, to the physical landscapes of the Bundanon properties on the Shoalhaven River, and to supporting and furthering creative practice across mediums.
Each year the Collection continues to grow and since 1996 an additional 1,000 works have been added from artists in residence, weaving contemporary practice into the story Bundanon upholds, of the Boyd family and their historic legacy.
This important story, forms a research archive and a reference point for Bundanon’s past, present and future.
