Fracture Gallery

The Fracture Gallery is a jewel-like example of the leading-edge thinking that characterises Federation Square. It is an exhibition/performance space located in the Atrium and unlike anything else in Melbourne.

Accessible all year round, the Fracture Gallery consists of twin parallel glass walls extending the full length of the Atrium, complimented by fractured glass shards and a web of cross bars. Curated by RMIT gallery, this unique exhibition space is a hotspot for quirky and creative contemporary art, showcasing the work of new and established local and international artists from around the globe.
