luma | La Trobe University Museum of Art

luma | La Trobe University Museum of Art, located in Melbourne, engages in historical and contemporary art debates. It is a creative institution that seeks to make a significant contribution to contemporary critical discourse; add to the knowledge of Australian artists, movements and events; work in cross-discipline paradigms; and be actively engaged in important State, National and International collaborative projects.

Our exhibition, education and public programs aim to explore social, cultural and political themes creating a vital centre of research, teaching, interpretation and dialogue. Through these programs we seek to engage, educate, inspire and encourage.

The Museum also manages the University’s Art Collection. This collection, one of the most significant University collections in the country, charts the development of Australian art practice since the mid 1960s. Representing a breadth of media, significant works are held by artists including Rick Amor, Brook Andrew, Charles Blackman, Mike Brown, John Coburn, Leonard French, James Gleeson, Bill Henson, Petrina Hicks, George Johnson, Inge King, Robert Klippel, John Olsen, Julie Rrap, Mark Schaller, Matthew Sleeth, Darren Wardle, Fred Williams and Anne Zahalka.
