“Bendigo Art Gallery was first housed in the former Bendigo Volunteer Rifles' room, which was converted into an exhibition space by Bendigo architect William Charles Vahland in 1890 and renamed Bolton Court. The Gallery is proudly acknowledged and operated by the City of Greater Bendigo, with additional support from Creative Victoria. Bendigo Art Gallery is one of the oldest and largest regional art galleries. In 1962, the gallery was again extended with office space, additional exhibition spaces, and a new entrance. The gallery's collection strongly emphasises British and European Continental 19th-century painting, with works by Ernest Waterlow and Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, among others.”
