What to Expect

About

Delve deeper into QAGOMA exhibitions and displays at the monthly Members lecture. Hear from Tamsin Cull, Head of Public Engagement, and Laura Mudge, Senior Program Officer, Children’s Art Centre, for a lecture exploring ‘Wonderstruck’.

The exhibition explores the wonder that can be found in the ordinary and extraordinary, inviting visitors on a journey from spectacular large-scale artworks to captivating small treasures and immersive experiences. Featuring more than 100 artworks and interactive projects by over 70 international and Australian artists drawn from the Gallery’s Collection, the exhibition will include audience favourites Nick Cave’s Heard 2012, Ron Mueck’s In bed 2005 and Yayoi Kusama’s The Obliteration Room 2022-present.

Bookings essential. Please note, the Members Lectures from May to August 2025 will be held in Cinema B due to temporary closure of Cinema A for maintenance work. Our capacity will be smaller than usual during this period, so it is essential to book a ticket to secure your place. Unbooked attendees cannot be guaranteed a seat on the day.
