The Art Gallery of NSW is one of Australia’s most popular museums located amongst the beautiful parklands in Sydney and overlooking the Sydney Harbour. The Art Gallery displays five levels of art and the gallery is just 10 minutes walk from the Sydney City centre.
The art gallery displays a vast collection of Australian art and includes one of the largest gallery displays of Aboriginal art collections in Australia. The gallery also includes art from European artists, local & international contemporary art as well as Asian treasures.
