Art Gallery of Western Australia Review

Always love going to our W.A. art gallery. Particularly loved the exhibition on the upper floor of Aboriginal Art and artifacts. The "jewellery " made from tiny bright coloured feathers..absolutely gorgeous..really worth going to see. Looking forward to checking out the Corsini collection this week!!

One of best galleries we have visited in a long time.

Always a delight to visit when new exhibitions appear

Tjyllyungoo Lance Chadd's art work is amazing!! A really nice collection of art, and the employees were very welcoming and informative.

Libby our tour guide was AMAZING!!! Lovely gallery.

Still one of the best relaxing days out in the city.

show cases abstract, surrealism,contemporary and alot more different type of art. Definitely worth a visit!

What an Amazing place,
You can spend a lot of time here getting lost in the history of art. Must see

Nothing really interesting apart for the aboriginal art collection all the rest is totally insignificant

One of the best places to visit in the city. Ground floor focuses on contemporary art and the latest in the local arena. Top floors offer art pieces tested by time.

A nice flow overall. There's also space for private/corporate events. Attentive team on the ground.

Has a very good shop and cafe withing the master building. Very close to other attractions.

One of the main cultural pleces in Perth. Experience, depending on current exhibition, can be great or awful)

Never disappoints. A must do every 6 months at least.

Beautiful spot for looking at some truly lovely art pieces, all for free! Would reccomend if you're in Perth and have a couple of hours spare.

Good venue, good staff, good art on display. Enjoyed my time there.

I am not an expert of art but I really enjoyed my visit there, learning the arts from Australian artists.

Gallery doesn't seem to update much. It's free to enter so worth a visit once in a while.

Great exhibitions that take a way less colonial eye to art than I am used to seeing. Informative, okay variety of perspectives. Helps you get a pretty good sense of WA in a couple hours.

Loved the perspectives exhibition! Large variety of beautiful works

Often interesting exhibitions with decent in house art collection

Been here with the kids and always have an outstanding experience.

Wide variety of art on display. Creative furniture, paintings, photographs, craft and designs, even a sneaker exhibition at the time of my visit.

I was surprised that it's free entry.

Very good but we didn't get to see it all, half of it was closed because it was a Sunday.

I like the collections here. Also just discovered that bringing a baby is easier than you'd think. Good parents'room and friendly staff.

A place to visit when you are in Perth. I would recommend it beside Freemantle market and Kings Garden among the top three places in Perth. Inspiring exhibition with wonderful paintings giving you a good insight into the Australian art scene.

Just did the ground floor and have to come back. Is definitely a must in Perth.

A really nice exhibition is holding at here! And only till 4th Sep! The rest of art is worth of viewing too, highly suggested for visiting this museum! Also got some cute card for the shop! Really enjoy it!

Great building, well arranged exhibitions. Admission and guided tours for free.

Boring. Modern art, is not me. Sequined paintings and shoes, i just don't get it.

Best gallery in Australia. The contemporary exhibit was very good. A few masters, Arp, Rodin, but mostly local works.

Have always loved to come here, free entry for majority of exhibitions (fee for special ones) had the heath ledger exhibition when we where there

Most impressed with the current exhibitions.
Tjyllyungoo LANCE CHADD, Ibelongyoubelongwebelong was inspirational. The artworks of this WA indigenous artist is NOT to be missed.

Great museum very nice staff and craft corner for children. Child-friendly

Over 17,000 works of art in the collection, everything from contemporary art, to historical painters are shown. we spent time in a gallery of Western Australian art, showcasing leading Western Australia Artists, and the Six season Gallery showcased Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island art, as well as an exhibition titled "Heath Ledger; a life in pictures"
admission is by donation, and they have a wonderful little book and souvenir shop, another wonderful afternoon in Western Australia

Always walk away having enriched my life through experiences that only the Art Gallery can facilitate.

Modern Art fans this is the location for you. Presently there's a exhibition on Jewellery known as"Beyond Bling". Check it out.unique place

Lovely gallery with a gold coin donation for entry.

This place is an amazing museum of painting and statues that relate to art. Amazing. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

Memories of the special exhibition Heath leisure. I can also enjoy permanently.

Helpful and lovely staff and absolutely incredible art

U will see so many types of different art work under one building
They have 7 galleries available inside and it's all free to visit
Perfect attractions for art lovers and tourists

well worth visiting the modern collection if you need a fart

This lovely art gallery had some fantastic Australian art and the contemporary indigenous exhibition was superbly curated, very well presented by the guide and of a world class standard.

Great place to see some awesome art from across Australia and some from much further afield. Great place to bring kids and get them away from screens for a time...although there are some exhibitions that contain screens. Definitely worth visiting for some relaxation.

Fantastic scoot through the WA collection this week. Our friend Virginia Ward's piece newly hung.

Beautiful place. Great exhibitions. gorgeous building. Also big improvement with Arthouse and dine taking over from that horrible cafe that was there. Food is wonderful there.

Exquisite examples of modern and koori art. Breathtaking!

In computer to other state galleries, this one isn't in the same league as the MCA in Sydney or the NGV in Melbourne, but it's ok. The best artworks that I saw during my visit was in the downstairs section that was dedicated to the final artwork of year 12 students. Their work was amazing. I was taken aback by the talent and skill of those young people. I was amazed that so much well refined skill was resident in so many people only just embarking on their artistic careers. That was a treat. The permanent exhibition was ok, but nothing special.

There were a lot of works on display, and the content and composition were good. Given the free points, this is a satisfying place. Most of the exhibition halls on the second floor were closed during the exhibition, but even if you look around the exhibition hall on the first floor, you will be happy.

Visited the Art Gallery on an organised club group outing. As the organiser, I found all the staff extremely efficient during the booking process. A great outing for your social group. During the visit we were lead by two wonderful volunteer guides( Adrienne and Karen) who shared their vast knowledge of the artists and the history surrounding each piece of art. All 22 of our party enjoyed the morning immensely. We visited the Historic Gallery which was very interesting. The Art Gallery is well worth repeat visits as there much to see. I would recommend visiting with one of the Guides as they certainly bring the art alive.

Absolutely not to be missed. Beautiful art collection.

It s worth slowly to understand the story behind art.

Great service from the volunteers, older building but it's being upgraded. An interesting collection of art though.

I like the gallery because it had thing from historic time to modern time. Pieces which were on display, were connected, which revels the sign of time. The littel shops they had is filled with prety things and post cards. If your in WA, give it a visit.

Great exhibitions with informative signage. Would highly recommend.
