Bunjil Place Gallery in Narre Warren will host a new exhibition curated by David Sequeira opening 29 March 2025. The exhibition title, Floribunda, is a combination of the Latin words for ‘abundance’ and ‘flower’. With one of the largest loans in its history, NGV will provide an abundance of flowers to Floribunda with over 150 works to be showcased.

The exhibition will display the entanglement between humans and flowers, how both are connected through life, religious rituals, death, romance and, of course, art. The wealth of florals taking over Bunjil Place Gallery at the end of the month is a prominent display of the NGV’s focus on partnering with Victorian public galleries to share permanent collection treasures with a variety of audiences.
