The inaugural exhibition in the Art Gallery of WA’s Great Collections of the World series brings world-class art which is normally only on display in Venice, Italy to the Perth Cultural Centre in Northbridge.

The Art Gallery of Western Australia worked with the curator in Venice and chose 30 pieces to come to Perth – this is an exclusive exhibition to Perth and will not be shown elsewhere in Australia within a 12 month period. It features works by artists who defined 20th Century modern art such as Pablo Picasso, Max Ernst, René Magritte, Piet Mondrian and Jackson Pollock.
