The museum has a strong focus on Australian ceramic artworks and houses a unique collection of historical Australian art, while also providing a Visitor Centre, event space, café, and support for Indigenous art through the Kaiela Art Gallery and Studio.
SAM features various notable exhibitions and events, including The ARNDT Collection: From One World to Another (on display until 10 March 2024), Ellen Lee: Landscape; of sight, of sound (on display until 28 January 2024), and Beci Orpin: MUSH/ROOM (on display until March 2024). The new museum building at SAM serves as a welcoming cultural landmark located in the picturesque setting of Victoria Park Lake. Notably, it is the first museum/art gallery in Australia to achieve a 6 Star Green Star – Design & As Built rating. The museum and lake precinct are envisioned to instill community pride among residents and bring about economic benefits, aligning with the goals of the Greater Shepparton 2030 Strategy.
