The Art Gallery of Ballarat is delighted to present a special exhibition featuring works never before seen in Australia from The Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, England, Pre-Raphaelites: Drawings and Watercolours. Alongside, in a special double feature is an exhibition of historical and contemporary Australian artworks drawing from the influence of the Pre- Raphaelites, In the Company of Morris.

The Pre-Raphaelites exhibition is a first for Australia as the drawings and watercolours featured haven’t been seen widely, even at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. As they are works on paper, they can only be displayed for very short periods of time. It’s an incredible opportunity for visitors to the Art Gallery of Ballarat to see these rare and fragile works.
