Free-entry regional museum in Shepparton with a dedicated interactive children's gallery, augmented reality displays, rotating major touring exhibitions, and a cafe with Albert Lake views. School holiday workshops run regularly.

๐Ÿ† Family Action Verdict

Best for families with school-age children who respond to interactive displays and hands-on art experiences. Free entry removes any commitment barrier and the cafe with lake views makes a cultural half-day genuinely enjoyable for adults too.

โ„น๏ธ What to Know Before You Go

๐Ÿ’กEntry is free - no booking required for general admission
โฐSeek out the Sam Jinks Woman and Child sculpture - it reads very differently in person than in photos
๐ŸŽŸ๏ธMoooving Art cow sculptures around the grounds function as a self-guided scavenger hunt for kids
๐Ÿš—The cafe operates longer hours than the museum - useful for a post-visit meal

โ€œDelightful art museum punching above it's weight in a regional town. The Woman and Child sculpture by Sam Jinks is a must-see and admired in-person to truly appreciate how gorgeous it is. The children's gallery is interactive and fun for kids, and spotting the Shepparton Moooving Art cows are always a delight.โ€

โ€œLovely gallery to visit. Great coffee in the cafe. Great to see them championing local artists. Was particularly taken with this triptych by Philip Hickingbotham. Would love to see more of his work.โ€
