The Macquarie Group Collection has been supporting emerging Australian artists for over 35 years by acquiring and displaying their works in Macquarie offices around the world. Part of the Macquarie Group Foundation, the Collection features art in all media, around the theme The Land and Its Psyche, reflecting the diversity of the Australian landscape as seen through the eyes of its artists.
Now comprising more than 900 works selected by a volunteer committee of Macquarie Group staff and a curatorial expert, the Collection is on display in more than 40 Macquarie offices worldwide.
We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land and we pay our respect to Australia’s First Nations elders past and present.
