McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park
Meandering along one of the numerous trails through the woodlands at the McClelland Gallery and Sculpture Park is an enjoyable experience. You will find yourself on a grand treasure hunt among dozens of striking sculptural exhibits. There is space to reflect, to touch, to discover. Art in dialogue with the Australian landscape is the consummate reward. Spend time exploring the gallery, pack a lunch to picnic on the lawn, or dine at a lakeside café. You will feel uplifted and reluctant to leave.
Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery (MPRG)
For those who value the richness of regional art, the MPRG is one of Australia’s leading galleries, with outstanding exhibition programs showcasing Australian and international art.
During spring and summer, be awestruck by the gentle aromas and dazzling blooms in the adjacent Mornington Rose Gardens.
