Beautiful building inside and out. It's easy to spend a whole afternoon here looking at permanent galleries and exhibitions. There are also lovely quiet, shady spaces around the outside with views of the city and river.
Topped off with a decent cafe.

Brilliant!

I'm not the one to admire visual art as much as others, so I found this gallery mediocre. However, I do note that from time to time there are some amazing exhibits, but if you're travelling through then it can be a hit and miss to get them.

A small gallery compared to Melbourne or Sydney but well presented and interesting exhibitions. Right next to the art gallery and museum so if you are very energetic you can see them all in one go. Also has great views of the river.

Some large impressive gallery spaces displaying a selection of mainly Australian artists - most you will know and there is a small number of European art pieces. The building is part of the Arts precinct and surrounded by landscaped gardens and pleasant riverbank walks.

My partner and I arrived an hour and a half before the venue closed. The friendly greeter described the four exhibitions that were on briefly, helping us to decide how to focus our time.

We started with the "Seen + Heard: Works and Multiples from the Collection" exhibition looking at the blend of music and art. It was the best exhibition I've seen. It was well lit or dark in all the right places. The multimedia exhibition gave you many ways to enjoy the experience. The music boxes alone -- imagine a desk-sized iPad playing Spotify -- could have held my interest for hours.

We also looked at "Trace: Performance and its Documents". It was an interesting concept for an exhibition: do you have to be "present" to enjoy a performance or can you gain something from the documents that go into putting a performance together. I found it unsettling, but still think it's a worthwhile exhibition.

We come to Brisbane often and now we'll always be looking to see what's new here. It has everything: intriguing concepts, helpful staff and well-organised collections, all housed in a beautiful building.

Beautiful space and interesting exhibition(s) when we were there. We took part in one of the guided tours and really liked it. Not too technical and quite interesting. Definitely check it out if you get the chance. Best thing, it's all free ;)
