The Queensland Art Gallery sits on Melbourne Street in South Brisbane, on the banks of the Brisbane River. It is one of the city's main places to see art, and a visit here makes a good half-day or longer outing, especially if you plan to explore the surrounding precinct.
What you will find
The gallery's collection brings together works from several traditions. Visitors can look at Australian art, including a strong representation of Indigenous work, alongside Asian and European pieces that span centuries. The range means you can move from one room to another and see very different ways of seeing the world, which suits both committed art lovers and people who only have a casual interest.
Connected to GOMA
The gallery is linked to the Gallery of Modern Art, known as GOMA, by a pedestrian bridge. Crossing it is a pleasant way to see both buildings in one trip, and it means you can focus on contemporary work at GOMA after spending time with the older and broader collection here.
