The Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards recognise and celebrate excellence across the sector. They seek to reward presenting and collecting organisations and the individuals who support and strengthen Victoria’s creative and cultural industries through outstanding work and a commitment to best practice.
AMaGA Victoria and the Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) are thrilled to present the 2024 Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards. From groundbreaking exhibitions to community-driven initiatives, each nomination reflects the dedication and creativity shaping Victoria's cultural landscape.
This year marks the 31st year of the prestigious Awards, and the second year of the collaboration between our two organisations. Since its inception, this annual event recognises outstanding achievements within the Victorian museum, gallery, and community collecting sector.
