It analyses the relative influence on these collecting patterns of Australia’s transition from a mono-cultural British dominion to a post-imperial multicultural nation positioned in the Asia/Pacific region, in comparison to the influence of institutional and art world changes. It evaluates the resulting strengths and weaknesses of the collection and assesses post-imperial museological issues pertaining to collection management.
