Having undergone an extensive six million dollar makeover by Athfield Architects in 2006, The Dowse Art Museum has been re-born as a cultural hub, with an eclectic display that includes fashion, jewellery, multi-media vignettes and finely-crafted ceramics.

Throughout the gallery are a series of visual 'snacks' that change every 6-8 weeks and a sprinkling of creative posts for visitors to roll up their sleeves & reach within to find their inner-artist.

As well as housing over 300 pieces, the gallery contains a destination cafe & gallery shop, an outdoor courtyard, conference facilities and a creative workshop specially designed for hands-on classes and programmes.

Open Hours:
Monday to Friday 10am - 4.30pm
Saturday and Sunday 10am - 5pm
