Exhibitions program

Through the Exhibitions Program, UNSW Library collaborates with a diverse range of partners across the University and broader community. This program creates a space for discourse in the Library and provides a venue for the Library to showcase and support the kinds of research outputs that previously didn’t have an outlet within our collections. View the Featured collection to access past exhibition catalogues and posters.

The Library also presents exhibitions as digital experiences through our Online Exhibitions which showcase the Library's digital collections, cultural collections held in the University, and creative research outputs by UNSW academics.

If you are interested in organising an exhibition please get in touch with the Library's Curator, Special Collections and Exhibitions.
