MAPh is the leading public museum dedicated to collecting and exhibiting photography in Australia. It’s home to the Bowness Photography Prize and a significant collection of over 4000 photographs and objects by Australian photographic artists, from the 1800s to the modern day.
MAPh sits on expansive landscaped grounds and a sculpture park, with views to the Dandenong Ranges. In the only public museum designed by architect Harry Seidler, MAPh neighbours the local library and hosts an onsite cafe.
