The exhibition will include works of art from the NPG Canberra's permanent collection with some inward loans and aims to highlight the achievements of notable Australians.
A major impetus for this exhibition was our recent painting commission of Her Royal Highness Princess Mary of Denmark. The painting of Princess Mary along with 50 other works of art will be exhibited at Frederiksborg Castle.
In April 2006 the National Portrait Gallery showcased Australian portraits at the Fredenksborg Castle in Denmark.

The collection display includes a wide selection of portraits that tell extraordinary stories of encounter, exploration, independence, individuality and achievement in Australia. Visitors to the Gallery can follow the development of portraiture from oil painting to digital media.
Haskins is known for his poetic combinations of images and this exhibition of 'extended' portraits builds on this approach.
Foxhill's portraits are more concerned with describing an emotional and psychological state than the surface topography of the human face.
