It may be seen as a little unusual for an art gallery to count a V8 interceptor in its foyer or a real life wrestling ring in its main gallery as being among its major drawcards, but that’s exactly what Rockhampton Museum of Art (RMOA) does, and its tactics have seen great success.
As well as Maximum Madness: Art Inspired by Mad Max, WrestleMANIA was another popular exhibition, with local, national and international artists responding to the theme of pro wrestling in all its spectacle and humour. This exhibition not only included artwork on display, but also displays of live wrestling in the ring by a local wrestling club.
