Very different in character, but both boosting the cultural offering to the tourism market, two new galleries have opened in regional towns.
The inaugural exhibition, Inspired Images: The Art of Faiths, explores human history through works inspired by diverse spiritual beliefs, explains the gallery. A highlight of the new display is the recently donated Vision of St Hubert, for which a preparatory drawing exists in the Louvre, with the original on Bribie Island.
