German Conny Dietzschold shows exciting international art, Utopia exhibits Aboriginal art and Gow Langsford presents a range of international art.

  • It’s easy to spend a whole day in Sydney’s most extensive art gallery.

  • A non-commercial gallery, Artspace presents contemporary works. Some shows include traditional artforms such as painting, but many lean towards the experimental through new media, installations and performance.

  • Australian Centre for Photography

  • Contemporary Australian works by artists such as Jeffery Smart.

  • Established in 1827, Australia’s first museum is the place to explore the country’s natural and cultural �historyhistory through its huge collection of artifacts. Experience indigenous culture with dance performance every Sunday, and enjoy interactive features for kids and inspired temporary exhibitions.

  • When Brett Whiteley died in 1992, his wife turned his studio into a memorial (see Whiteley Studio). Now an adjunct of the AGNSW, his bedroom and workspace have been left intact. Get to know the artist through his unfinished paintings or the gallery space that exhibits his work.

  • A conservative collection of Australian art from every period.

  • This is Sydney’s only Aboriginal art gallery owned by indigenous people. Combining an exhibition space with a shop, Gavala offers storytelling, didgeridoo-playing demonstrations and Aboriginal artists-in-residence who discuss their work.
