Summary
Red Hill Art Gallery’s chief curator and gallery owner Hellmuth Rossler-Musch is not modest to suggest his art space has a lot in common with a museum.
What makes a museum different from an art gallery is that the former is for public viewing of art that has no price tag attached, while a gallery is commercial, meaning the art on show is invariably for sale.
