Publications

Monash University Museum of Art is a prolific publisher, producing catalogues that support and extend dialogue around our exhibitions and the Monash University Collection. MUMA Publications are a meeting point for art historical scholarship and current artistic practice.

Featuring quality illustrations and insightful texts by MUMA staff, academics, guest curators, authors and artists, MUMA Publications contribute to the study of contemporary visual culture in Australia and beyond. Publications documenting the Museum and Collection have been produced since the 1970s. The series of publications now provide an important legacy of the Museum and document a unique perspective on the recent history of Australian art.
