Featuring work by some of Australia's most notable artists, Bloodlines: Art and the Horse explores the subject in a highly creative and inspired way.
The horse has played an important role in helping to define Australian identity and culture. Witness, for example, the Melbourne Cup, an event that stops a nation; the film The Man from Snowy River; the heroic role of the Australian Light Horse Brigade during the First World War; and every child's dream of owning a pony.
