Becoming Modern: Mid-century Australian Art

Becoming Modern is a survey exhibition exploring the emergence of modernism in Australia during the twentieth century.

Drawn largely from the Tasmanian State Collection, it features iconic Australian modernists alongside lesser-known works, many of which are exhibited for the first time.

This large-scale exhibition brings together paintings, sculpture and works on paper, highlighting figuration, abstraction, and foregrounding works by Tasmanian women artists.

Becoming Modern includes migration experiences in its interpretive texts. Community groups and organisations are welcome to book a free guided tour of the exhibition.
