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.
This is a must visit gallery if you are in Sydney. The gallery itself is like a walking museum, with pictures of a few hundred years old as well as contemporary arts displayed nicely here. It is really interesting to see how artist think when they draw these drawings. It is really calm your nerve down when you visit this place, and it is free as well
Visiting from Vancouver, Canada, as an architect, the Art Gallery of New South Wales was a must-see for me — and it absolutely exceeded expectations. The building is a beautiful blend of heritage and modern architecture, and the collections are thoughtfully curated, showcasing everything from Australian and European masterpieces to contemporary and Indigenous works.nnI was especially captivated by my experience on the -4 floor, where I discovered Angelica Mesiti’s The Rites of Passage. The installation is located in The Tank, a massive underground space originally built as a World War II oil bunker. The raw concrete columns, once used to support the bunker’s heavy structure, now create an extraordinary, almost cathedral-like setting for the artwork. Their monumental, industrial presence adds an incredible sense of gravity and history to the experience — a feeling of being surrounded by layers of time and memory.nnMesiti’s immersive video and sound piece fills the cavernous space with emotion, reflecting on human rituals, nature, and transformation. It’s the kind of artwork that makes you stop, reflect, and truly feel connected to both the space and the stories being told.nnWhat makes the Art Gallery of New South Wales even more special is the harmonious blend of the old and new. The original installations, housed in the gallery’s heritage areas, carry a sense of classical beauty, while the new, modern exhibits in the Sydney Modern expansion push boundaries and invite a more experimental, contemporary experience. Both the old and new installations are unique in their own way, offering a diverse range of art that speaks to different times and emotions.nnEntry to the main exhibitions is free, making it an even more welcoming experience for all visitors. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a creative professional, or simply curious, this gallery offers a truly inspiring and unforgettable experience. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sydney!
Amazing gallery! I've been here so many times and can't get enough of it. There are several free exhibitions which slightly change often enough. The new gallery side is my favorite as it contains both Aboriginal and contemporary art. There are several unique spots that are easy to miss: the peaceful Buddha sanctuary outside at -2 a new stone is deposited daily there for whichever wish or journey you need company and support; and who knows you might get a stone brought back by a visitor too, the flower sculpture at level 0 with view on the Harbour and naval ships, the tank that always contains amazing art installations can be overwhelming sometimes. There are several coffee points as well. You can easily spend half a day here, or more if you attempt to do the old and new galleries in the same day.nAnd if you can, make a donation to help keep the galleries free for people who cannot pay.
A must-visit in Sydney! The Art Gallery of NSW offers a stunning collection ranging from classical to contemporary works. Beautifully curated exhibits, peaceful atmosphere, and free entry make it even better. The new North building is a modern gem with great views. Perfect for art lovers or anyone seeking inspiration. Don’t miss the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art section!
