QAGOMA Reviews

Biggest art gallery in Australia. Always something interesting to see. Saw Andy Warhol a while back. Top notch

Really nice selection on display..Giftshop staff bit eye-rolly but hey retail life sucks I get it.

Spacious but some people idea of art is interesting

Interesting display of most styles of motorcycles over the years

There was no current exhibit, but the art on display was emotive and intricate

Obviously had outstandingly beautiful art and clean facilities surrounding the art, unfortunately I was super let down by the cafe and one staff member in particular (the others were lovely). For a place filled with such valuable beauty I would have expected the food and drinks at the cafe to be at least 'good', not just 'eh'...
The water features create such an amazing atmosphere. I wish there were more areas to sit and study within the building to cafe. It is very inspiring being surrounded by such masterpieces.

We loved the free Yayoi Kusama exhibition. The Gerard Richter exhibition was fantastic.

Some cool exhibits but some others are a waste of time.

What am amazing museum. Their permanent collections and rotating special exhibits never disappoint.

The family and I enjoyed visiting, it was a great atmosphere and plenty to see. Kids loved it.

Fantastic. Love the current exhibition by Margaret Olley.

An oasis on the banks of the river. Some great artists on show, not too crowded and lots of info about the art.

Great facility, world class art and exhibits. A cultural and educational must. Includes a kids zone.

Best art I have ever seen. I have ever considered art be anything until I seen the art here

Good location and always having new exhibition come through. Worth the visit!

Great experience with plenty of different art pieces to keep you entertained

Great place, really relaxed and most the staff are friendly and helpful. We're lucky to have something like this in Brisbane :)

Meh. A lot of space..and walking.. with nothing much to look at. The river lounge was nice to look out the windows. And there was a circular room on level 2 that had projectors and a changing light /nature show on the walls. That was good. Except for the kid who kept running around the room with his hands all over the wall catching the images. Artwork was painted on the walls too, and it was supposed to be a quiet space. Ironic, when a staff member asked my husband to carry our backpack instead of putting it on his shoulder. It was museum policy so as not to damage art! Seriously ..the walkways are wide as well, and art has barriers mostly and ..more guards.

The special exhibits I think are a bit pricey and seemed like a waste of money. Almost $50 for family of 4 to see some exhibit on river systems and conservation of water...hmmm..nah... more snoozefest.

One of the true gems of Brisbane. Four levels of museum curated artistic bliss. There is a nice book store and gift shop on the way in, which also sells themed items from whoever the main artist on showcase is. On a recent visit in 2018, really enjoyed seeing the works of Australian artist Vincent Namatjira. There is a cafe with river views on the lower level.

The gallery is always a delight to visit, Peta-Marie greeted us upon entry today, she was extremely helpful and kind.

While I always love the artwork here, I found the diversity and international variety of their exhibits are delightful.

The staff are a credit to the gallery. They are always on hand to assist with the history and motive of the artists. Directing you to certain aspects that if you are not an artist (like myself) you might overlook. This makes the experience of your visit much more enjoyable.

I love that you are able to photograph the work and plagues, so that you can do more research when you get back home.

Beautiful gallery. Well informed guides. Comfortable to walk around. Very spread out and easy to get around.

Always love it here. Fantastic exhibitions that are made to entertain and intrigue everyone.

Plenty of modern art, sometimes too much. There's almost always something to blow my mind here.

Very interesting and challenging. Makes one think and see the world from a different point of view. I'm better off for the experience.

Never disappointed with the quality of the exhibitions put on by GOMA.

Enjoyed the Yayoi Kasuma exhibit here. It was fun and interactive. The rest of the gallery is nice too if a bit small.

Also had a function here and the food was very good.

Fantastic gallery. Whatever exhibits are showing it's always worth it. Even just for the space and the building itself. The curators seem to have a focus on really interactive, engaging collections which really draw people in. The gift shop is also excellent

Shame you can't carry bags or have food or even a coffee. Usually, the exebitions are pretty good and that makes up for it. A good way to spend your day followed by going to the town hall or mall etc.

I loved and hated ....
The best is to go there, it's free and there are a lot of quirks you might like :-)

Brilliant exhibition of Motos! Gracias team, very grateful!

Ben Quilty s exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Arts. My partner, Isabelle did some quick sketch of him. Awesome masterpieces and a must visit!

To be honest, underwhelmed is an understatement. One star for being free. For such a significant structure it certainly is empty of anything interesting. That's a lie. There are a couple interesting helmets. Poorly painted ones with no real effort in the brush strokes. But that is all. What you will find is an endless processing line of white guilt and anti-colonialism. No one with an education above year 6 would agree that by todays standards colonialism is a good thing, but does anything bordering on creative these days NOT saddle up next to white guilt? The motorcycle display looked interesting, but the exhorbenent pricing ruled it out for my family. That's half our weekly food budget. So my recommendation is to go straight to the ACTUAL art gallery where post modern socialists haven't crept in and contaminated the displays. You'll find portraits from three centuries ago that amaze even the common man/woman/+ -/ with their level of detail and depth of culture. A trip to the Gallery of Modern Art is a sure monstrous let down and disappointment.

Saw a great exhibition here, entry price was terrific. Nice walk along the foreshore to get to the there. Very clean inside and glad to have visited.

I've had the privilege of going there quite a few times in my life. During school and also the last couple of years independently as a free thinking mind. Firstly the architecture itself is incredible. Both my parents are architects so I feel like I can judge accordingly, however even knowing nothing about design you can't help but be taken aback by the giant overhanging awnings at each corner, plus the huge panels of glass spanning the outer walls.

Easily accessible by car, or bus. Facilities are clean. It can be busy but we went on a weekday so it wasn t too bad. We went to see the Yayoi Kasuma exhibition and it was really fascinating.

Attended the Motorcycle exhibition. Left me breathless. Beautiful machines.

GoMA is a really cool place to go where the entry is free and you can spend as long as you like looking at fantastic works of art. If you see something you love, on the way out you can buy a print. The prints are an excitingly affordable $5 a pop, I bought 4 the last time I visited and they are beautiful. Really worth a visit if you are looking for cool places to go on a budget and even if you aren't.

Thank you GOMA for helping make Brisbane worth a visit!

Love this gallery, always have amazing exhibitions. The Margaret Ottey exhibition is wonderful, will go again if I get the chance.

An amazing way to spend a relaxing and educational time to discover about different artists.
Highly recommend it :)

Art lover?...this is it!
Best place to satisfy your (art) taste buds!!

Went to see the Motorcycle: Design, Art and Desire exhibition, which was thoroughly enjoyable. So many fantastic bikes on show! Educational AND fun.

Find your favourite artist or painting. 'Bad Dad' is top of my list right now, look out for him.

Loved the whole gallery and the Water Exhibition. A must visit place.

Brilliant exhibitions, was expecting good, experienced fantastic! Look forward to new exhibitions

good for education, who love art, calm, quiet, clean, free

Great place for the whole family. The current Marvel exhibit is great.

Actually on this visit I went to the GoMA Rooftop Garden Function Centre. It is a delightful location overlooking the Brisbane River and the Go Between Bridge. Great location for functions especially on a hot summer evening.

Superb with lots to see and to make you think a bit of other things.

terrific place to go and relax. staff are friendly.

Awesome gallery that always has great art exhibitions

I try and visit with each new exhibit that opens. Always inspiring and amazing to view. Fantastic.

Amazing place to experience even if you aren't the most savvy when it comes to art. Free entry, great place to visit!

Love GOMA and the complex around it. We went to see the Marvel exhibition and love the diversity of the exhibits including interactive exhibits. Customer service was great.

Very interesting collection available for viewing. Kept my 8yo grand daughter facinated

Most of your favorite bikes, yesterday and today were here, in real.

Always a lovely visit, something new almost every time, the staff there really do care about the art and know lots about it :) amazing exebition for fair prices and honestly just a lovely day out. I take my whole family there but it's also good for special occasions, there are lots of opportunities to draw and be inspired :)

Always something different and free on for the kids in the holiday.

Lots of great things to see, kids loved it. Only paid for parking.
