ARCHITECTURE AND SCULPTURE PARK

MGA is situated on a parkland affording spectacular views of Melbourne’s south-east. We acknowledge the traditional owners of this beautiful place and pay our respects to their elders both past and present.

Designed by internationally renowned architect Harry Seidler, MGA is a fine example of contemporary Australian architecture.
