Located at:

The Museum's new site at 133 Cowper Street, Footscray, is now open. This site carries a small but well-chosen selection of the Museum's collection (less than 10%). It is open for limited hours/days. Visitation at other times is possible for visitors from interstate or overseas, by appointment.

OPENING TIMES

For General Public: details of days, times and prices are on our General Admission page.

Other programs, such as Access Studio, Graphic Students' Workshops and large-group visits, can be booked for non-open days.

Why did we move, and why is the collection still in jeopardy? Read this.
