MGA is recognised as one of Australia's leading public galleries promoting excellence, access and education within the visual arts.

An initiative of the City of Monash the MGA opened in 1990.

Located in Wheelers Hill , MGA is a key cultural facility and a popular destination for art and photography enthusiasts from across Melbourne, attracting over 56,000 visitors in 2005-2006.

Boasting a nationally significant collection of Australian photography, the Gallery's permanent collection comprises over 2,000 works illustrating the development and evolution of the photographic medium in Australia.

MGA mounts around 20 exhibitions a year in three spaces - the Wilbow Gallery, the Special Exhibitions Gallery and the Focus Gallery.
