Out of the Vault

QVMAG's latest collection exhibition provides a unique opportunity to bring unexpected objects, hidden favourites, and overlooked curiosities back into public view.

Selected by members of the QVMAG team, Out of the Vault is designed for audiences to encounter the remarkable breadth of the QVMAG collection as a world shaped by innumerable people, perspectives, and personalities over time.

The chosen objects and artworks move between the historical, humorous, beautiful and the bizarre. Out of the Vault reminds us that museums are living collections – constantly changing, growing, and revealing new stories depending on who is looking, and why.
