For over 125 years, the RMIT University Art Collection has served as a repository for education and research, and as a source of inspiration. Encompassing some of the finest examples of modern and contemporary art in Australia, it reflects the University's commitment to its - and Australia's - cultural history through the creative endeavours of staff and alumni, and of external artists whose work mirrors the University's own ideals and aspirations. The collection comprises over 2000 artworks in a variety of media. Many works are on display throughout RMIT's campuses, and form an important component in exhibitions at RMIT Gallery.
