Billionaire media mogul Kerry Stokes has given $15 million to the National Gallery of Australia, the largest cash donation in its history.

The gift, announced to 160 donors at the NGA’s annual gala on October 26 but hitherto not made public, will go towards a renewal of the Canberra institution’s national sculpture garden.
