[title]It’s not every day you experience works by Picasso and his contemporaries in regional Victoria. While Facing Modernity: Degas to Picasso is reason enough to visit, it’s also a great excuse what makes Shepparton and Goulburn Valley such a spectacular mini getaway.
Touching down from Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki, the Facing Modernity: Degas to Picasso exhibition is coming in hot at Shepparton Art Museum until September 20. Almost 40 works, some of which have never been seen in Australia before, offer a snapshot of the radical change that came with the 20th century.
The exhibition may be the headline act, but the buzz doesn’t end there. Local businesses, makers and creatives are embracing the occasion with special experiences and deals, so don’t forget to flash your exhibition ticket for some stellar discounts.
