Sea of Dreams: The lure of Port Phillip Bay
An exclusive Mornington Peninsula Regional Gallery exhibition
This exclusive landmark exhibition tells the fascinating story of Port Phillip Bay and the integral part it played in 19th and early 20th century survival, settlement, trade and commerce, defence and leisure. Shattered dreams, fresh beginnings, a buoyant and expansive economy, rising fears and the emergence of a bourgeouis are detailed in this rich and detailed visual display that traces the journeys and growing prosperity of so many who were lured by the dream of a better life. With more than 100 works displayed, many of Australia’s best known and loved artists are represented. There are paintings by Charles Conder, Fred McCubbin, Tom Roberts, Arthur Streeton and Louis Buvelot, along with rare drawings and prints by Emma Minnie Boyd, S. T. Gill, Georgiana McCrae, John Mather and Eugene von Guérard.
