All years

Behind the Lines is an annual exhibition at the Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House. It celebrates the role of political cartoonists in Australia and highlights the power that their artworks have in contributing to our daily political and social discourse.

MoAD has hosted Behind the Lines since 2011. On this website you can browse the exhibitions between 2019 and 2023 in full.
