Albury Regional Art Gallery
The Albury Regional Art Gallery is housed in a renovated building which was the former Town Hall, built in 1908. It is a splendid example of late Victorian 'wedding cake rococco'. Opened as the Art Gallery in 1981, it organises an extensive program of exhibitions, public lectures, education activities, holiday workshops and musical programs.
Collections
The collections comprise the City Collection, begun in 1947, with the Albury Art Prize as the major source of objects. In 1981 Photography was established as a major strand within the colleciton along with other works on paper. The policy was to collect the work of local artists of national repute. Sir Russell Drysdale fulfils that criterion. The other strand is the Daniel Gift of European prints and oriental artefacts. 1000 items, including 250 photographs, 200 European and Australian prints.
