The third exhibition in a series marking 100 years of public collecting at MAG&M, Collection 100: Search celebrates a major milestone for MAG&M – our Collection is now accessible online!

One hundred images of rarely-seen works from our Photography Collection depicting the story of swimwear will be projected in the gallery to mark the launch of our Collection online.  The exhibition will also feature swimwear pieces from the Museum Objects Collection, and iPads to search the Collection in this open invitation for audiences to take a deeper dive into MAG&M’s 100-year-old public Collection.

The exhibition will offer a unique opportunity for our audiences to see large-scale, high-resolution projections of select Collection photographs, which were previously only available to view at the size of a computer screen – all supported by our informative stories and curatorial insights.

These 100 featured pieces have been selected from a list of over 700 contemporary and historic photographs in the Collection. The swimwear items were chosen from over 1,200 Museum Objects, which while important to MAG&M, are either too fragile or logistically difficult to display regularly.

A platform for discovery, learning, and pure enjoyment, MAG&M opens the Collection as a free resource accessible to everyone.
