Whiteley Studio

  • Review this attraction

  • Tucked down a Surry Hills backstreet, the former studio of artist Brett Whiteley is now a public museum and art gallery. Whiteley painted some of Sydney’s most iconic works. He loved the harbour and the nude, and both feature in his paintings. In 1985 he converted this former factory into a studio but, just seven years later, he was found dead from a heroin overdose in a motel room in the south coast township of Thirroul. The gallery has regular exhibitions and displays the artist’s studio much as it was before he died.
