From the organiser

Step inside Encounters, a free exhibition at Footscray Town Hall inviting the viewer into a space of curiosity, discovery and imagination.

Drawn from the City of Maribyrnong's Art and Heritage Collection, Encounters explores unexpected connections between artworks, objects and civic treasures. Inspired by the fifteenth-century Wunderkammer or room of wonder, the exhibition brings photography, painting, textiles, ceramics, glass and memorabilia into thought-provoking dialogue.

Historical works sit alongside recent acquisitions and different mediums converse with one another, inviting visitors to uncover surprising relationships and see the City's Collection in a new light.

The exhibition is available for viewing during Civic Precinct opening hours. You can also join a monthly curator tours at 11 am on the first Wednesday of each month. Bookings essential via the website.

Groups larger than five people are encouraged to book a tour by contacting Arts Maribyrnong via email or on the phone.
