Art Gallery of New South Wales

The Art Gallery of New South Wales is one of Australia’s most prestigious public art museums, located within the beautiful parklands of The Domain in Sydney. Established in 1871, the gallery houses an extensive and diverse collection of Australian, European, Asian, and contemporary art. It is particularly renowned for its significant collection of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art, showcased in dedicated spaces that highlight the rich cultural heritage of Australia’s First Nations people. The gallery’s grand neoclassical building is recently expanded by the Sydney Modern Project, a stunning new wing that doubles the exhibition space and integrates art with the surrounding landscape. Visitors can enjoy a wide variety of free and ticketed exhibitions, including the famous annual Archibald Prize. With its serene atmosphere, expert-led tours, and educational workshops, the Art Gallery of New South Wales serves as a vital cultural sanctuary and a primary destination for art lovers visiting the city.
