The name “Manyung” is derived from two local indigenous words describing the watercourses that flowed near the original gallery site in Mount Eliza, on the Mornington Peninsula. The site was well known and loved with its faux Tuscan castle look, 10 sub-galleries, 160-year-old oak trees, sculpture courtyards, lots of art activity and warming open fires.
Manyung Gallery has been presenting primarily contemporarythrough active involvement with Manyung’s rolling exhibition activity. The business now runs more than 30 exhibitions each year across its six art spaces in Victoria and participates in annual Affordable Art Fairs in Melbourne, Sydney, Singapore and soon in Brisbane.
