The Andy Warhol works are a long-term loan from the National Gallery of Australia with support from the Australian Government as part of Sharing the National Collection initiative. The partnership will see the Wanneroo Regional Gallery display over 50 artworks by Andy Warhol over a two-year period, with a small selection of pieces on display and rotated every three months.  

The first rotation of Warhol's Electric chairs series is currently exhibited in a small section of the Gallery to the right side of the City’s main exhibition.

Warning

The European Union presents Inside Pompeii: Origins of a European way of Life – Photographs by Luigi Spina at Wanneroo Regional Gallery, open from 10am to 4pm, Wednesday to Saturdays.

This FREE exhibition brings the ancient world to life through stunning photography by Luigi Spina. Through the images, you can explore what everyday European life looked like nearly 2,000 years ago capturing everything from the colourful artwork and quiet streets to the homes of people who lived in one of history’s most famous cities.

A rare look inside

During the pandemic, when Pompeii was closed to visitors, Luigi Spina was given special access to explore the site. Using a custom-built camera and natural light, he captured over 1,400 photos that show the city as it once was – full of life, detail and stories.

This photo exhibition brings together a selection of those images, inviting you to walk through Pompeii’s streets, admire its artwork and imagine the lives of the people who lived there.

Perfect for families

Families can pick up a free brochure at the gallery entrance to help guide kids through the art exhibition. It’s a fun and easy way to learn together and spark curiosity about history.

Whether you’re looking for something different to do with the kids or want to explore something new close to home, Inside Pompeii: Origins of a European Way of Life  is a great way to connect with the past.

About Pompeii

Pompeii is a World Heritage site, protected so future generations can learn from the past. This exhibition is part of a cultural exchange between the European Union and Australia, showing how sharing stories and traditions helps build understanding and connection.

“I invite you to explore this extraordinary exhibition and experience Pompeii as it once was – vibrant, thriving and profoundly human.”

- Gabriele Visentin

EU Ambassador to Australia

McGrath Cancer Care Nurses have a proven positive impact on the lives of people experiencing cancer and their families. Since 2005, the McGrath Foundation has supported over 161,000 families, for free. Around one in two people in Australia will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime, meaning the need for McGrath Cancer Care Nurses is greater than ever.

From our streets to our Council Meetings, the Wanneroo Town Centre will be pretty in pink throughout October to support this important cause. With plenty of fun, family-friendly events and activities for all to enjoy, this is a great opportunity for you to get involved and help raise awareness.
