Art and culture – Mornington Peninsula
The natural beauty of the Mornington Peninsula has spawned a thriving interest in the arts, and inspired painters, photographers and craftspeople. Their work can be seen on display in the local galleries.
Some of Australia's best-known artists have painted their impressions of Port Phillip's picturesque shoreline on canvas, including McCubbin, Streeton, von Guerard, Mather and Roberts. Follow the Artists' Trails, discover the scenery for yourself and compare it to the interpretative boards that depict and explain the work of those artists.
The Peninsula also has a diverse range of museums that describe and display its rich history.
