Between the Heads: View of Middle Harbour
A fresh display of works from the Mosman Art Collection, presenting, for the first time, recent acquisitions of 19th and 20th-century paintings and drawings, complementing the well-loved works from The Balnaves Gift. From April 2025 the Collection Gallery will feature a selection of picturesque landscape views of Middle Harbour, painted by explorers, pleasure-seeking daytrippers and settler residents. These artists documented the progress of maritime industry, celebrating the might of the British Empire and following the urbanisation of Sydney Harbour, on these contested lands of the First Nations owners, who remained absent from their views.
