The last thing that Susi Muddiman OAM will do before she exits Tweed Regional Gallery & Margaret Olley Art Centre (“Tweed”) will be to welcome into the Gallery the $174 million masterpiece, Meules, milieu du jour [Haystacks, midday] (1890) by French impressionist Claude Monet.
While the two exhibitions couldn’t be more different, both place key artworks in regional and metropolitan areas to drive new audiences. Muddiman is no stranger to connecting with audiences. The week that ArtsHub spoke with her, Tweed had been announced as Tripadvisor’s 2023 Travellers’ Choice Award-winner – ranking the Gallery in the top 10% of attractions worldwide. It is the third time the Gallery has been chosen since Muddiman took over the Director role in 2007.
