Great tour!

Published on Oct, 2024

Although the gallery is free- this tour was super informative and a great introduction to the artwork displayed at the gallery. Would recommend!

State of the Art

Published on Sep, 2024

Friendly ,knowledgable guide with artistry and art history background of both architectural highlights of this world class museum and the various artworks displayed helped usto appreciate the artwork even more and lead us to areas we might not have found on our own.

Very interesting and so much variety

Published on Sep, 2024

This is a magnificient building bordering Sydney's Botantical Gardens. It is free entry and fully accessible. The building is jdivided into many areas, show casing some wondergful artwork and sculptures. There is a cafe and restaurant.

Awesome art gallery

Published on Apr, 2024

So glad we checked this out today! It’s a very good art gallery with pieces that range from Aboriginal art to classic paintings and sculptures. Right now it also covers the Sydney Biennale as well as a special exhibition on Louise Bourgeios. Definitely something for everyone, no matter what art style you prefet. There are four levels of art in the main buildings, plus an extra several levels in the modern addition, so lots to see! We spent about 3 hours here and could have spent longer. We particularly loved having Louise Bourgeois' Maman outside the building, adding some nice quirk to the building. Because Sydney got hit by such bad weather last week, sadly part of the Bourgeois exhibition was closed for maintenance but to compensate they offered the other part of that exhibition (there is usually a charge fir the special exhibition, however all the rest of the exhibitions are free to see). Great regulars tours too of both the main area and of the Louise Bourgeois exhibition. Definitely worth a visit.

If you want to see art as good as this, you'll need to travel to LA or NYC

Published on Feb, 2024

I've been a member of AGNSW for a decade. The exhibitions are always impressive. A current standout is Kandinsky. What impresses me most is AGNSW's permanent collection. You have Monet, Bacon, Pissarro, Seurat, Grace Cossington Smith, Olsen, Whitely and my favourite - John Russell's In the Afternoon - a relatively recent acquisition. This is housed in the North Building along with many superb works of art. Then there's the new South Building, which is still finding its footing. This is a world-class museum with similar artwork you would have to travel to LA or NY to see. Resident or tourist, don't miss out on one of the best cultural gems of the city.
