The Manly Art Gallery offers highly creative temporary exhibitions designed to open the eyes and the minds of our visitors. We have at least 10 temporary exhibitions in our main galleries each year. These include international touring shows, high profile satellite exhibitions from the major state galleries and the National Gallery of Australia as well as shows curated specifically for the Manly Art Gallery and Museum.

Our smaller Access Gallery is dedicated to contemporary artists. It features solo shows, retrospectives, surveys and group exhibitions.
