STUDY DAY 2011 | THE GARDEN OF IDEAS 1 : VANISHING SCULPTURES 1 with Terence Lane

Melbourne’s 19^th century fathers enriched the city’s gardens and art gallery with copies of classical and neoclassical sculptures. Just what were these statues and why were they removed from public view? Terence Lane will reveal some surprising answers.

TERENCE LANE is one of the foremost authorities on Australian art of the nineteenth-century, a respected author and former senior curator at the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne.

This lecture was part of THE GARDEN OF IDEAS: STUDY DAY 1 convened by Christine Reid and held to coincide with THE GARDEN OF IDEAS | An Australian Garden History Society national touring exhibition.
