SAM’s public galleries feature its permanent collection along with a series of changing exhibitions. SAM also provides a wide range of education and public programs.

Collection: SAM’s collection includes a significant collection of Australian and international ceramics, as well as historical paintings and contemporary art in all media. SAM’s collecting activities focus mainly on acquiring Australian ceramics and contemporary Australian art. SAM also acquires international ceramics and contemporary Indigenous Australian ceramics acquired through the biennial Sidney Myer Fund Australian Ceramics Award, and Indigenous Ceramic Art Award, respectively.
