About Culture Victoria (CV)

CV enables Victorian cultural organisations to bring their collection objects and resources together in the form of stories. CV content tends to be media rich, and most objects can be 'maximised' to high resolution formats.

CV was developed as part of the Victorian Cultural Network (VCN) project, a collaboration between State agencies, managed by Arts Victoria, and supported by the Victorian Government through Arts Victoria and the Community Support Fund.
