A great day out. Spent a good 90 minutes in there and still moved through quite quickly. Free cloakroom was very handy. Great staff, all friendly and helpful. Very diverse exhibits. Had a small lunch in the cafe and had a couple of happy lizardy gecko friends hanging out with me. Very chill. Highly recommended.
Freaking awesome ! The exhibition was amazing, the costumes and sets were incredible , lots of great info and facts and fun interactive areas.
The place is really tidy and clean. The arts in there is wonderfull too!
A good place to visit.
. Felt so happy
Amazing art, you d be amazed by its response to challenge your cognitive identity
An incredible venue right in the heart of Brisbane. It should be on every local or tourists radar
Great place for an afternoon wonder. Free guided tours are excellent.
Lovely. The staff are friendly, polite, and professional. Always something new and interesting to see. Lots of interesting sights to explore around the grounds. Highly recommend the Goma Bistro.
Amazing exhibition for modern art! Will see it again!
My husband loved this exhibition spent over two hours of in here
A great place to cool down (inside away from all the hot concrete directly out front). Spend as long or as little time as you like for free. I always like to contribute by grabbing a little something from the art shop (just in case my work ends up there one day ). Art is essential to culture and culture is essential to peace in modernity. Even if you don't know art but you know what you like, then this is a pretty cool gallery.
GOMA is my favourite place to go in Brisbane. It's an International standard gallery with wonderful visiting exhibitions, also fabulous cafes and gallery store. You can sit at the Cafe overlooking the river or go to Qld Art Gallery cafe with the water fountains and water dragons native to Queensland.
Very cool place to go. It is free entry and free to check a bag. Lots to see.
A beautiful, iconic space. Great exhibits with wonderful views of the Brisbane river. Walking distance to the State Library and museum which is a bonus. Love the GOMA bistro as well.
Fresh new displays often, amazing water feature inside, and finally a quiet space in the city. Amazing that this place is free to enter.
Some of the collections are outdated, but quite interesting to kill some time here
Fantastic space and surrounding gardens. Great view to the city and fantastic exhibitions.
A fantastic venue for some great art exhibitions. I found prices to visit a bit steep.
Wonderful building, great art in and around it. Love the bodhi tree.
What looked like chalk was on the ground next to a large white wall and a ladie which looked like a worker came running over and yelled in the face of a mother of a young child that picked up the stuff that looked like chalk and mite of marked the wall where the art work was and to a child the art work looked like a scribble on the wall, just thinking out loud why didnt they put up signs like do not touch. This was very disappointing of the art gallery
Boring this time around, was excellent last time about a year ago, new curator perhaps?
I love this gallery. I was really happy because is free.
Really nice place to visit for free while in South bank. They have a kids gallery there too which is awesome for the little ones. $16 for parking at the closest underground parking. Or if you are lucky there is a free parking area on merivale rd only on weekends.
All you need to know about arts and culture,historic monuments on display,awesome educative place to visit
The Indigenous water colour and pastel work is sublime. I recommend anyone remotely interested in art to delve some time here - it changes all the time so you may never know what to expect.
Really good exhibitions. Entry is free and as long as it isn't crowded with screaming college kids everything is great!
The motorcycle exhibition was amazing- didn't truly appreciate the history, significance and style.
Go GOMA!
Beautiful art gallery. Lot of cultures in on museum.
Artworks are displayed very well. A great space, used sensibly.
Picasso exhibition is probably for those already with an interest in the artist.
However, there is great variety. Gems amongst the more mundane.
Great place to catch a world class exhibit, can't believe it is free admission!
Loved it! Did the tour and had a great experience with Marilyn! Highly recommend!
very little to see in terms of new instalments, last time I went was over 2 years ago and little to nothing has changed other than the displays that you have to pay to view. would much rather visit QAG
This is the better of the two galleries on this street, in my opinion. About half the staff are nice, half are miserable (I could say that about almost any venue in Brisbane, though). There are (unfortunately) a lot of people who come here just to vogue in front of artwork and take selfies. They don t even really look at the art, it s just a convenient backdrop for their narcissism. That said, they do have some great older art Picasso, Rodin, Degas, etc. The unfortunate thing is that some half wit put these classic pieces of art right next to self-important, loud (literally, some of them have sound) projections onto the walls. Why anyone would juxtapose such beautiful works of art with such noise is beyond me. It really takes away from it. But, if you can put that aside (which, in certain cases, can take a bit of concentration and effort), you may be able to really enjoy those works of art.
There is security everywhere. You must check your bag if it can t fit in the wire mesh rack (to size it) by the cloak room. There are two small gift shops here. The selection isn t the greatest. They have lots of items completely irrelevant to what is on display. The staff can be very unfriendly at times.
P.S. You are not allowed to bring in even small, collapsible umbrellas. You will be refused entry if you try. Even if the umbrella meets the size requirements for the small bags that are allowed in, and even if the umbrella isn t wet... At this point, I d recommend a park instead.
Lots of "art" that looks like it was painted by school children.
I love the GOMA. The building itself is spectacular and set right on the river with an indoor / outdoor cafe amongst the greenery but beware of the mighty Ibis :)
The free exhibitions are usually quite good and will easily keep you occupied for a couple of hours.
A couple of years ago they even had a few gig here where Regurgitator headlined!
Great place to visit in Brisbane, always offering interesting presentations for free.
Amazing building! Good collection, with beautiful coffee.
Visited in September 2018. Told come back November 2018 to have the entire experience. 3/10 rooms open at the time.
A favortie spot in Brisbane. GOMA's always good for a walk when you've got nothing else to do; nice looking building, good atmosphere, and a lot of great artworks to see. There is always a major international gallery on in GOMA too, plus they show some good art-house movies here as well.
Good varied exhibitions. Thoughtful curation. Fun for kids.
Incredible place. The Marvel exhibition was incredible.
Nice. Disappointed stuff for kids had some restrictions
Was ushered in quick to see the last 10 min of the gallery and loved what I saw. Highly recommend going here.
Have visited for years and have always thoroughly enjoyed it every single time. Wonderful exhibitions on show 100% of the time and very invigorating for art lovers or anyone alike. My children adore this place. Defs a family favourite when going on outings as we like to visit the river shortly after
Motorcycle exhibition is awesome, very informative and a great collection
Always has amazing art pieces on show, amazing kind and helpful staff and the gallery is always in it's best condition, clean and presentable. I come here all the time and will continue doing so!
Nice facilities, some of the displays left me wondering though....
Decent selection of art. Fairly quiet on weekdays. Free admission always good.
Very nice surroundings. Wonderful to have free entrance. Great view over the river. Comfy seating to pause and reflect.
One of the best modern art galleries in Australia, set in a suitably inspiring building directly beside the Brisbane River. A must-see for visitors to Brisbane.
