Join Augusta, Georgina, Emily, Belle and Theo in their exciting adventures after hours in an art gallery, and what takes place there after hours. The children in the pictures are a bit bored and they decide to come out of the pictures. Join Augusta, Georgina, Emily, Belle and Theo in their exciting adventures after hours in an art gallery.

It’s after dark and security guards decide to look around and enter the gallery with their torches. The children rush back into the pictures but get in a muddle and don’t go back to the right ones. But when the guards get there, the children stand perfectly still and the guards shine their torches around and can’t see anything astray. More adventures later unfold in this delightfully illustrated story. Follow the children as they meet people and animals in some of the pictures in the gallery.

This book provides a delightful introduction to Australian women’s art by some of Australia’s best known and most loved women artists.: Martha Berkley, Iso Rae, Violet Teague, Grace Cossington Smith, Margaret Preston and Thea Proctor.
