2024 Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards Ceremony
Tuesday 1 Oct 2024, 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
The winners of the 2024 Victorian Museums and Galleries Awards were announced on Tuesday 1 October at a gala ceremony held at Science Gallery Melbourne. Twelve awards were presented across eleven categories - with two Lifetime Achievement Awards granted this year.
The sector's night of nights was hosted by Australian comedian, composer, and broadcaster Sammy J and featured a Welcome to Country by proud Wurundjeri, Dja Dja Wurrung and Ngurai Illum-Wurrung woman Stacie Piper and an introduction by Minister for Creative Industries Colin Brooks. The 2024 Awards received nearly 60 nominations, showcasing the remarkable range of projects delivered by Victoria's galleries, museums and community collecting organisations over the last twelve months.
Now in their 31st year, the 2024 Awards were once again delivered through a collaboration between Public Galleries Association of Victoria (PGAV) and Australian Museums and Galleries Association Victoria (AMaGA Victoria). A capacity-crowd celebrated the outstanding achievements of the gallery and museum sector and the talented individual who have made extraordinary contributions to the field.
