art projects
Since 1984 artists from various disciplines including contemporary art, film making, choreography, theatre production, music and creative writing have found the Museum's archives, its associated communities and its location in Pipemakers Park (since 1989) an extremely rich and unique resource to help them develop new projects and a better understanding of the history and cultural heritage of Melbourne and Australia through getting to know more about the region to the West of Melbourne.
The Living Museum hosts and supports artistic research, exhibitions and events. Through its contemporary art sub-committee the Museum manages an exhibition program and artist-in-residency program.
The Museum also works with various institutions to host and to help facilitate and develop course subjects, student research projects, exhibitions and other events.
