About

NOLAN COLLECTION

Nolan goes digital in 2013

In Canberra’s Centenary year, Canberra Museum and Gallery is planning a significant development in the access to the Nolan Collection. Each work of Art in the Collection will be available to explore through a web-based collection database and dedicated mobile site.

A new online educational outreach resource is also being developed. The resource will support teachers and students to create short stop motion animations inspired by Nolan’s Kelly series, which resembles a storyboard for a film sequence. The digital animations will be published online to celebrate and provide access to young Australians’ creative engagement with one of our most treasured artists.

Both projects will be launched later in 2013.

A Centenary of Canberra Project supported
by the Australian Government.

The Nolan Collection at Canberra Museum and Gallery is the permanent home for the
Foundation Collection.

This Collection of iconic works by Sidney
Nolan was donated to the people of Australia and includes fifteen works from the Kelly
series and the first of the artist’s
Burke and Wills paintings.

This significant collection is explored through
a range of visual arts education and community programs available in the Gallery and studio space, or as outreach sessions in the classroom. Other works from the Nolan Collection will be shown as part of CMAG’s temporary
exhibition program.


All works on display in the Nolan Collection Gallery @ CMAG are from the Commonwealth
of Australia and are on permanent loan to the ACT Government through the Cultural Facilities Corporation.
