Sidney Nolan Ned Kelly Series Exhibition at MAMA

 

  

We were very proud to have sponsored the exhibition of Sidney Nolan's iconic Ned Kelly Series at Murray Art Museum Albury (MAMA).

It was 2003 when the National Gallery of Australia last toured Sidney Nolan's 'Ned Kelly' series of paintings in its entirety. During this tour of only four galleries nationally, MAMA was the exclusive NSW gallery to host this exhibition. This tour provided a unique and special time for the Australian community to be able to visit and experience the wonderful paintings by such an iconic Australian painter. The exhibition ran from 23 November 2018 until 17 February 2019. 

Being a sponsor of this event meant the Albury Wodonga community and visitors could view the exhibition for free. Something we are very proud of. 

Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly series is a National Gallery of Australia exhibition.
