The 2016 National Gallery exhibition opens in two weeks and we cannot wait:
The Australian Galleries have been refurbished, the lighting is perfect and the collection is getting some of the love it deserves. The 2016 exhibition will be a good one: everything from Aboriginal bark paintings to contemporary photography in a show that celebrates 200 years of art collecting in Australia.
Titled “Australian Masterpieces: 200 Years of Collecting”, the exhibition will feature more than 100 works, including paintings by artists such as Sidney Nolan, John Brack, Lloyd Rees, John Olsen and Albert Tucker.
It’s not just the big names that make this exhibit exciting though – there are also works by lesser known artists such as Grace Cossington Smith, Arthur Streeton and Grace Crowley (who was only recently recognised as one of Australia’s greatest artists).
As well as being one of Australia’s most loved pieces of art (and still the largest painting in the country), “The Golden Bough” by Sidney Nolan will be on display. Also notable is Nolan’s “Bush Idyll”, a quintessential piece capturing a 1940s Australian country scene.
In this exhibit you can expect to see some of Australia’s most important historical works as well as beautiful contemporary pieces. For example you’ll see

To those of you who have visited the Gallery before, I would like to say that the 2016 exhibition is going to be simply incredible – it will blow your minds!
For those of you who have never been to the Gallery, I would like to say: You are missing out on a grand experience and should come down as soon as possible.
The exhibition will be opening on February 16th and will run until April 3rd. The gallery is open 7 days a week, 10 am to 6 pm.
The 2016 National Gallery exhibition opens in two weeks and we cannot wait. There is a lot of buzz surrounding the 2016 exhibition, with over 2000 artworks being shown across the National Gallery, Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the Queen’s Gallery.
One of the most anticipated events is actually in the 2016 exhibition: The Night Watch by Rembrandt will be reunited with another one of his most iconic and important painting, The Militia Company of Captain Frans Banning Cocq.
Both paintings have been kept apart since 1909, when they were stolen from the Amsterdam museum where they were on display. After years of research by Dutch detectives and curators, one of the paintings was recovered in Serbia in 2012. It transpired that it had been swapped with a fake copy back in 1935 after it was damaged during an attempted theft. The real painting remained missing but its location was traced to a warehouse in Ukraine.
The discovery brought much joy to Dutch citizens who organised multiple fundraising initiatives over the past few years to raise money for its repatriation. Although it has not yet been confirmed when exactly this will happen, this is a major step towards their homecoming. The painting is one of around 900 works that have been requested for repatriation from museums around the world.*

The National Gallery of Australia is located in Canberra, Australia. It is the most important art museum in the country with a collection of over 24,000 paintings, sculptures and other works. The gallery was founded in 1967 and opened to the public in 1968. The gallery’s first director was Sir William Dargie. Today the gallery is administered by a Board of Trustees. The board aims to encourage public awareness and appreciation of Australian art and to promote interest in art and its history. The gallery is located on the shores of Lake Burley Griffin, near the Australian War Memorial and the National Library of Australia.
The 2016 exhibition opens on 21 July 2016, it will feature paintings from the National Gallery collection as well as loans from private collections, including artworks by famous painters like Rubens, Rembrandt and Cezanne. An exciting part of this will be a group of paintings from the Olga Havlova collection which have never been previously displayed in an Australian public museum.’
