Opening Saturday 22 March at 2 o’clock
We may be a museum, but hey, History starts today!

CAM is excited to present a retrospective of Leslie Thornton’s work. Thornton has developed a distinctive style of painting capturing contemporary life in central Victoria in all its uncanny strangeness. His carefully painted works have a surrealist humour can be poignant and unsettling.
There will be a vibrant addition of public programs including guided tours,
workshops and talks, check our website for further details.
