Museum of Australian Photography

The Museum of Australian Photography, also known as MAPh, is an art museum and gallery dedicated to the collection, conservation and exhibition of Australian photography. Located in Wheelers Hill in Melbourne, Victoria, the gallery was originally established in 1990 as the Monash Gallery of Art (MGA).[1]

It was renamed from Monash Gallery of Art in 2023 in a bid to better reflect the organisation's extensive photography collection, and increase community reach and engagement.[2][3]

MAPh adjoins the Wheelers Hill Library.

History

The gallery building was designed by architect Harry Seidler.[4]

Collection

MAPh houses over 4500 Australian photographs in their collection, many of which are available to access online via their website.[5]
