The White Hat Guide to McClelland Gallery & Sculpture Park

McClelland Gallery

This regional gallery is set in an eight hectare sculpture park complete with lake. the gallery hosts changing exhibitions while the park displays both permanent and changing displays. Of particular interest is the significant collection of works by Lenton Parr (1924-2003), one of Australia's pre-eminent sculptors working with welded steel.

The development of the gallery and park has been strongly associated with the artistic patronage of Dame Elisabeth Mudoch whose residence is the nearby 'Cruden Farm'.
