{{main|Monash University Museum of Art}}
The [[Monash University Museum of Art]] (MUMA), since 2010 based on the Caulfield Campus, is the result of an initiative started in 1961, when the inaugural Vice Chancellor [[Louis Matheson]] created a fund for the purchase of artworks by then living Australian artists. The establishment of the museum reflected a desire by the university's founders to create the modern Australian university, and to enrich the cultural life of students, staff and visitors.<ref name=hist/>

In 1975, the Monash University Gallery was created in the Menzies Building, moving in 1987 to the Multi-Discipline Centre (later called the Gallery Building).<ref name=hist>{{cite web |title=History & Architecture |website=Monash University Museum of Art |url=https://www.monash.edu/muma/about/history-and-architecture |access-date=30 January 2022 |archive-date=30 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220130042623/https://www.monash.edu/muma/about/history-and-architecture |url-status=live}}</ref>
