The Museum of Falling unpacks the material history of civic space and the all-too-human experience of navigating it. Presenting a tragi-comic parade of falling images and objects, the exhibition-cum-installation reanimates the city collection in amusing and telling ways.
Patrick Pound is an Australian artist working with collections of images and objects as if on a dare. From Melbourne to Mannheim, Manhattan to Madrid, Pound has worked with numerous public gallery and museum collections, alongside his own ever-growing photo collection–based artworks.

Located at Melbourne Town Hall, City Gallery presents a program of regular, free exhibitions on city life, past and present. Specialist guest curators, often working in collaboration with artists and other creatives, offer intriguing perspectives on Melbourne life. These exhibitions often feature newly commissioned work and always showcase the City of Melbourne Art and Heritage Collection, which offers an eclectic range of 13,000 artworks and artefacts.
