Visitor Centre
The new Visitor Centre was officially opened on 11th December 2022 by Her Excellency, the Governor of South Australia, Frances Adamson AC. Guests numbered ninety.
Designed by Khab Architects Pty. Ltd. and constructed by Thorne Constructions the new additions have delivered modern amenities and expanded gallery space. Antipodean Dreams, a new exhibition designed and developed by Denise Schumann OAM, is a feature of the four gallery spaces.
