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.

Great museum with alot of art to see from new to old history. It’s so big that you definitely need 2 or 3 hours for it. They have a cafe/restaurant where you can take a break. Various of nice food options available for a very affordable price as well! Would recommend going here, it’s a must and since it’s free so you have nothing to lose.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales is nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled beside the Royal Botanic Garden with sweeping views of Sydney Harbour, this iconic gallery is a celebration of art, culture, and creativity that both locals and tourists can treasure. From the moment you walk through its grand sandstone facade into its expansive halls, you’re welcomed by a breathtaking blend of classical elegance and contemporary innovation. The recent expansion – Sydney Modern – has elevated the gallery into a world-class cultural institution. The new light-filled spaces and thoughtful architectural design offer an immersive experience that feels open, accessible, and inspiring. The collection itself is incredibly diverse and thoughtfully curated. Whether you’re drawn to Indigenous Australian art, classic European masters, contemporary installations, or bold modern works from Asia and the Pacific, there’s something here to stir every soul. The gallery’s dedication to showcasing First Nations artists is particularly powerful, giving voice and visibility to some of Australia’s most important cultural narratives. Beyond the artworks, the Art Gallery NSW offers enriching public programs, engaging guided tours, and family-friendly experiences that make art approachable for everyone. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, always ready to answer questions or offer insights that enhance your visit. Whether you have an hour or an entire day, a visit to the Art Gallery of New South Wales is an uplifting, unforgettable journey into the world of art. Highly recommended!

There are two separate buildings and the new building is a beautiful modern space with several terraces and interesting outdoor art installations. The old building has a more conventional gallery feel and a wonderfully thought provoking collection of art. Both are worth a visit and you could spend anywhere from an hour to a half day here easily. Also saw quite a few wedding parties outside, it must be a place to come to take wedding photos.

Loved visiting the Art Gallery of New South Wales! It’s free to enter and has an amazing variety of art, from traditional to modern. Super easy to get to since it’s near the city center and big landmarks like the Opera House. A great place to relax and soak up Sydney’s culture
