Art Gallery and Museum

From the Maitland Mercury:
To coincide with Saturday’s grand opening of the Maitland Art Gallery, artist Fiona Davies will launch her exhibition Intangible Collection – an installation designed to celebrate and acknowledge the history of the building and its earlier life, as the West Maitland Country Museum and later, a technical college .
As part of Ms Davies’ exhibition, the Sydney Powerhouse Museum has come on board offering pieces once belonging to the old Maitland museum including old miners’ lamps and a swatch book of luscious fabrics.
