Opening celebration – Ron Mueck’s Pregnant woman

Please join us as we celebrate the arrival of Ron Mueck’s Pregnant woman, at Maitland Regional Art Gallery.

Ron Mueck is one of Australia’s most internationally accomplished artists and we are thrilled to present this work in conversation with our own collection to captivate our audiences and attract people to Maitland. This work, loaned in partnership from the National Gallery of Australia is a key part of the Sharing the National Collection initiative bringing significant works of art to regional cultural institutions across the country.
