Bendigo Art Gallery will temporarily close in November 2025 ahead of a $45 million redevelopment project to expand its exhibition capabilities and upgrade public facilities. The City of Greater Bendigo is leading the redevelopment (which has gained significant support from the Victorian State Government and other partners), and which will be its largest civic infrastructure project to date.
The redevelopment includes the construction of a new second-level exhibition space, a learning centre, a theatrette and a purpose-built Place of Keeping for Dja Dja Wurrung cultural materials.
