Local Treasures

Ballarat and surrounding regions have been home to some very serious art collectors who would regularly lend their private treasures for public enjoyment.

The Art Gallery of Ballarat is now reviving this custom. The result is a treasure chamber of interesting, unusual and valuable artworks ands artefacts including a 200,000 year old Acheulean stone hand axe, ambrotypes from the first decade of photography, and prints created in a World War Two era internment camp as well as fine works of art by major Australian artists.
