Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir

Running from 21 May to 19 October 2026, Tony Albert: Not a Souvenir is a major exhibition by one of Australia’s leading First Nations contemporary artists.

Presented exclusively in Sydney at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, the exhibition brings together more than 150 works spanning sculpture, photography, installation, painting and assemblage, alongside major new commissions.

Through humour, energy and bold storytelling, Tony Albert reframes popular representations of Aboriginal Australia, transforming objects of prejudice into expressions of resistance, resilience and cultural pride.
