The Potter Museum of Art (The Potter) has announced it will reopen in 2025 with a landmark exhibition celebrating the longevity and brilliance of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.

Titled 65,000 Years: A Short History of Australian Art, the exhibition will feature more than 400 artworks.

The Potter is located on the University of Melbourne campus and has undergone extensive redevelopment by Wood Marsh Architects. Key to the design is a new entrance and improved spaces for the Museum’s leading collection-based learning programs.
