Earth’s oceans were home to some of the largest, fiercest and most successful predators ever. While dinosaurs ruled the land, huge prehistoric reptiles and sharks hunted the depths. Discover more in this seriously scary exhibition and bonus 3D film.

The Sea Monsters exhibition combines real fossils, gigantic replicas, immersive multimedia and hands-on interactives to reveal these ancient monsters of the deep. What can their fossilised bones tell us about how they lived? How do they compare to today’s top ocean predators?

Sea Monsters 3D – A prehistoric adventure
Can’t get enough of sea monsters? Extend your exhibition experience with a screening of this exciting 3D film from the award-winning team at National Geographic.

80 million years ago, the American Midwest lay under a great inland sea where colossal creatures ruled the waves. From giraffe-necked Styxosaurus and sea birds with teeth to the T-Rex of the ocean — the 40-foot super-predator Tylosaurus — these wondrous beasts defy imagination. In a remarkable journey, National Geographic immerses audiences in this unexplored world of the “other dinosaurs,” delivering the fascinating science behind what we know and a vision of history’s grandest ocean creatures brought to life in spectacular 3D.

RETRO HORROR: Supernatural and the Occult in Postwar Japanese Manga explores the horror manga of postwar Japan.

The exhibition focuses on three artists—Tsunezo Murotani (b. 1934), Hino Hideshi (b. 1946) and Ochazukenori (b. 1960)—each representing a different phase of the genre from the 1960s to the 1990s. Notably, this will be the first ever showing of Ochazukenori’s work outside of Japan.

This exhibition features over 70 original genga drawings by Tsunezo Murotani and Ochazukenori, reproductions of iconic works by Hideshi Hino, and publications by artists including Junji Ito, Tezuka Osamu, Kazuo Umezu and Masako Watanabe; as well as a manga reading lounge, with horror manga classics in English and Japanese available to browse.

The exhibition is part of The Japan Foundation, Sydney’s HORROR MANGA JAPAN event program, which is being held to coincide with the Art Gallery of New South Wales’ Japan Supernatural exhibition and the JFF Classics film program, Grief and Vengeance: Otherworldly Tales.

Presented in cooperation with the Yoshihiro Yonezawa Memorial Library of Manga and Subcultures, based on its 2018 exhibition Yoshihiro Yonezawa’s ‘History of Postwar Horror Manga’, with support from the Meiji University Modern Manga Library.

A stunning exhibition of works of art donated by Margaret Olley AC to Australian collections

Margaret’s Gift is an exhibition that acknowledges and celebrates the generous legacy of Australia’s beloved artist Margaret Olley AC (1923-2011).

Regarded as an accomplished painter of still life and interiors, Olley was also a generous donor giving over 380 works to galleries. Margaret Olley made her first donation of 4 eating bowls from the Middle Sepik River to the Art Gallery of New South Wales in 1984 and she continued to give generously up until the time of her death in 2011 and following through bequests.

Guest curated by Renée Porter, the S.H. Ervin Gallery presents an exhibition of over 65 works from public art galleries and museums that were either donated directly by Margaret Olley or were acquired as a result of her contribution. Margaret wanted to make giving “contagious” so by presenting this selection of works we hope to honour her with an exhibition that highlights her philanthropy.

Margaret Olley’s work features alongside that of her teacher Jean Bellette, early friends Margaret Cilento and Anne Wienholt, works by European masters such as Goya, Edouard Vuillard, Pierre Bonnard, Edgar Degas, Paul Cezanne, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Giorgio Morandi, Australians abroad John Russell and Ethel Carrick Fox, her Australian peers Roy de Maistre, Russell Drysdale, Justin O’Brien, David Strachan, Lloyd Rees, Oliffe Richmond, Jeffrey Smart, Kevin Connor, and younger artists whose work she admired such as Cressida Campbell, Nicholas Harding and Ben Quilty.

An extensively-illustrated colour catalogue features works in the exhibition and essays by curator Renée Porter and Barry Pearce, Emeritus Curator of Australian Art, Art Gallery of New South Wales, with recollections by Joseph Eisenberg OAM and Christine France, along with a comprehensive list of her donations, will be available.

Supported by the Margaret Olley Art Trust.
