Newcastle Art Gallery opinion piece

Newcastle Art Gallery is extremely fortunate to be the custodian of one of the most significant art collections in Australia.  

But with this great honour comes great responsibility, especially when you're creating a new home for more than 7,000 works of art valued at $126 million.
