Among the works to benefit from the storage are textiles and garments from the gallery's Piinpi: Contemporary Indigenous Fashion exhibition.

Funding for the new storage is part of the Regional Collections Access Program that helps museums, galleries and cultural organisations to tour, borrow and display exhibitions as well as better care for their collections.
"Bendigo Art Gallery is one of our country's best galleries and this grant will support the gallery to preserve and showcase important cultural artworks," Bendigo East MP Jacinta Allan said.
The Regional Collections Access Program is administered through Regional Arts Victoria, in partnership with Creative Victoria, Australian Museums and Galleries Association Victoria, Public Galleries Association of Victoria and the National Gallery of Victoria.
