Flinders University Museum of Art

Since 1966 when the first acquisitions were made by the former Department of Fine Arts, the Flinders University Museum of Art collection has grown to more than 8,000 works, making it one of the largest University art collections in Australia.

Four major collection areas include contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art; European prints; Post-object and documentation art; and Australian political prints and posters. Smaller collections comprise colonial and 20th century Australian art; indigenous works from Papua New Guinea, North America and Africa; and Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints.

FUMA presents diverse and inclusive public programs ranging from short talks, lectures and seminars to film screenings, hands-on workshops and special events.

Located on the ground floor of Social Sciences North building, Humanities Road, adjacent to carpark 5.

Feature

The kimono is more than an artefact and more than clothing. It is a concept artists will make their own

Over 70 fabulous garments of exquisite craftsmanship – some made of silk with gold and silver embroidery and dazzling designs – have been assembled within a context of over 150 paintings, posters, wood block prints, magazines and decorative arts. Although many of the items have never been previously exhibited in Australia, most are now in the collection of the National Gallery of Victoria, with many specifically acquired for this exhibition.
