Bronwyn Campbell is a visual arts professional with over 25 years of experience, with particular interest in provenance research and South and Southeast Asian art. From 2001 to 2005 she was curator and advisor at the National Museum in Laos before returning to the National Gallery of Australia where she has been a curator of Asian and international art, worked in public programming and registration, and project-managed touring exhibitions, prior to moving into provenance research in 2015. Her remit encompasses legal and ethical frameworks for collection development across all collecting areas, the first position of its type in an Australian collecting institution. She leads the Gallery’s provenance research to ensure appropriate documentation and publication of provenance for works across the national collection, promoting a culture of provenance research and publication that pays respect to creator communities and has resulted in the return of dozens of works of art to their countries of origin.
