This is definitely a must-visit museum and a perfect spot to check in when you’re in the area. The art exhibitions are beautiful, inspiring, and truly impressive. There’s also a great sense of history throughout the place, which makes the experience even more meaningful. It’s also an Instagram-worthy destination — the architecture, lighting, and layout all make for cool photo opportunities. The best part is that entry is completely free! The building itself is stunning from the outside, and everything inside is well-maintained. The air-conditioning is cool and comfortable, and the restrooms are clean and convenient. To get there, you’ll walk through a lovely park, full of greenery and peaceful vibes. The whole area feels calm and elegant — it almost made me feel like I was somewhere in England! Overall, it was such a wonderful experience — relaxing, inspiring, and absolutely worth a visit. Whether you love art, history, or just want a beautiful place to wander and take photos, this museum is a hidden gem you shouldn’t miss. 🎨✨

I had a great visit to the Art Gallery of New South Wales. Entry is free, which is such a bonus, and the collection is really nice to explore. The crowd was okay. not too packed, so I could enjoy the artworks comfortably. Overall, it was a good experience and definitely worth stopping by if you’re in Sydney.

It was founded in 1872. It is the most important public gallery in Sydney and one of the largest in Australia. It's free entry to most of the exhibits except for special presentations. It's popular with locals and tourists. Toilets are available. Cafes and restaurants are in-house and outside nearby. Parking is difficult and advisable to use public transport. Most areas are level access.

If you haven't visited the Mike Hewson "The Key's Under The Mat" exhibition at The Art Gallery of NSW, you must . Great Fun for kids and adults especially on rainy days or extremely hot days. Bring your swimmers ( although no pools there are communication showers and a water feature to play under as well as a milk tank steam room and Scandinavian sauna as well as change rooms), a picnic and bbq items ( there is a communial BBQ bench with I think 4 BBQ on it you can use to cook your sausages and other protein on , there are lots of places to sit and eat and large sinks to wash up in), bring your laundry ( Yep there are working front loaders and a top loaders washing machines but mainly used to wash the towels in), there are lots of weird and wonderful kids books to read and even a few toys, there is a set of swings and a roller coaster track shaped monkey bar, also a DJ stage with background music playing and a makeshift hut which if you are lucky houses an artist in resident working, toilets are outside near the lifts of the Nelson Packer Tank where the exbition is, pram parking area near entrance exit of exhibition and if you forgot to pack a BBQ, picnic or snacks like I did because I was so unprepared - there is a small concession snack stall set up inside the exhibition with basic light snacks and drinks to purchase just like ones you would see near a beach or park. Highly recommended but try and go on a weekday as Saturdays can get busy from opening to closing hours. Spend the day there as there are other exhibitions to see and activities to do like the patchwork activity at one of the other current exhibitions on.

We had a wonderful visit to the NSW Art Gallery. The story time in the children’s library was such a lovely experience, and the kids really enjoyed it. We also loved the interactive exhibits in the gallery, which made the visit engaging and fun for the whole family. A great place to spend time together.
