Be introduced to the Archie 100 with a guided tour.
Archie 100 celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Archibald Prize and explores the history of Australia’s most prestigious portrait award.
The exhibition presents a diverse selection of Archibald portraits from the last century—the triumphant and the thwarted—and honours the artists who have made the prize the most sought-after accolade in Australian art today.
