QAGOMA Reviews

Great public gallery. Free entry and nice exhibitions.

Great place to take the family as the exhibitions are usually very high quality and there is also always something to do for the kids.

its a cool place

got a short free tour of the 'aboriginal art exhibit' and you know how amazing the aboriginal are and there thoughts are true

eg the slogan "does australian art exist"? well thats painted on one of his artworks and in the art is hidden with the answer "you have NO culture"

so true, is it australian art? or all just european art?? white people dominate the world, raping and taking over the world theres rarely any true aussies (aboriginals anymore) in U.S there are NO pure native americans anymore, their heritage/bloodline has been purged out of them

its so racist that people walked past the exhibit just to get to the so-called REAL european art, from school students to the adults, PATHETIC this country is. Go sit in the 'tent' (replica of the tent embassy) and you know how racist this country is....go watch the video and you'll know. Its a tad long so watch at least abit

Great museum although the should rope of some of the exhibits. I watch someone walkthrough the spoon and chillis exhibit

Lovely, spacious gallery. I particularly enjoyed Anish Kapoor's untitled on level 3. They won't allow large bags in, so check in your bags at the free cloakroom. No flash photography allowed.

Lovely gallery in Brisbane city. I very much enjoyed the free guided tour of Gordon Bennett's 'Unfinished business' run by volunteer guide Jan. The free guided tours run at 11am and 1pm.

The current exhibition, 'From collage to meme' includes some works from Andy Warhol, which shines the spotlight on gay, transgender and LGBTIQ activists.

Always something new to see at GOMA. My favourite place to visit of the Cultural Centre. Very welcoming team, and you always leave inspired or in thoughts about what you've experienced. Everything you want from art.

They always have interesting and creative activities for the kids

Very long queues for some exhibits. Not ideal for waiting with impatient children.

Beautiful location, exhibitions are varied and fascinating, time disappeared, I was entranced.

Queensland landmark art gallery on the banks of the Brisbane river. Has an outstanding track record of presenting well curated work.

Been here countless times
The most recent exhibition I went to was the Marvel one and that was superb
Always well worth coming to GOMA, always an enjoyable experience

Great visit, great accessibility. Will have to come see what is on more often.

Nice gallery, love the use of water and sculptures throughout. Unfortunately the Australian exhibits were closed when I was there.

Favourite place for my teenagers and me. I've been bringing them here since they were toddlers, and they are always made to feel welcome by the attentive and efficient staff. GOMA have the best exhibitions, and a lot of beautiful free galleries. Super calm, bright, friendly atmosphere.

I don't know how it's possible but this has got to be one of the best gallery's in the world. I read a review on here previously about someone coming in here to get shade and they stated they were gob smacked by how good it is. I too have to back this up, despite Brisbane being a small little city on the other side of the world, London and Paris should take note of how to do a gallery. Everything about this place is perfect, I have come here several times since my first visit and would highly recommend this to anyone regardless of if you like art or not.

Hands down the best gallery I have ever been to.

Always a big variety of stuff on here and they always seem to do it well.

A good venue with plenty of viewing rooms. I have been to view the APT 9 and Marvel exhibition. I found both put together and layed out very well.

Great place to bring the kids. they always have something creative and interactive

Pretty chill place, security and staff were friendly, however bag packs of a certain size have to be kept at a storage place due to security reasons which i can understand. They have many weird exhibits there ( in a good way) there is even a 'horror' section which is really kind of creepy. Also they have art that dates back to the 1900s to 2018. They have this awesome system which i think is targeted to art enthusiasts, basically the system stores all the data regarding the paintings (etc. location, date , name) so when the user wants to locate a piece of art, all they have to do is just search for it and it will show them the location of the art piece. Just a word of warning, there is a pinball machine there AS A PIECE OF ART, and i mistook it as a real pin ball machine and tried to insert the coin into it. After awhile, one of the staff saw me and kindly told me that it was an art piece and not a real working machine. Oh boy =/

This was a pretty cool museum, and I'm honestly surprised that admission here is free. I'd definitely go back.

I love going to GoMA every few months to check out all the new exhibits. They're always so breathtaking!

A must see if in Brisbane, most exhibitions are free. Well served for wheelchair access. Wonderful gift shops and cafes

This gallery is spectacular. We went to see the motorcycle exhibition and we couldn't rate it high enough. A brilliant collection of motorcycles - new, old and famous. So enjoyable. There was also a great local link with a 'design your own motorcycle' interactive online activity that's pitched from a West End company. Aside from the special exhibition the gallery itself is lovely - plenty of space to spread out, great management of people during COVID restrictions, and a thoughtful children's section with interactive activities incorporating tech and paper-based platforms. Plan for a few hours it makes for a lovely morning or afternoon activity.

State of the art! The 'Water' Exhibition was exquisite! Definitely worth the entry fee and time. This exhibition focussed on water conservation and action. Very relevant in todays applications!

As I had an afternoon flight and the morning off, I had the chance to visit this museum. Not only is it housed in a beautiful building, the standard collection is pretty impressive. But I was lucky, as I happened to be here during the Triannual Asia Pacific exhibition of contemporary art. It's a brilliant mix of paintings, statues,
Photography and video art. Don't miss it, it's free, just like the rest of the museum.

Went for the Marvel Avengers exhibition. Excellent display with some interactive areas. Kids enjoyed it.

Beautiful building with a small collection of Australia's best. I particularly loved Quilty's work. Entrance is free!

Cool space with free exhibitions most of the time and seasonal paid exhibitions that are varied and interesting

Great display spaces, loved the Motorcycle exhibition

Always have great content available with some intriguing displays. Great historical content with some modern Australian artworks being featured at time. Sometimes they have massive sections closed due to new exhibitions so be sure to check the website to ensure you are disappointed with closures as we have been in the past. Staff are relatively friendly most of the time.

No static displays, exhibits changed regularly with some exhibits requiring an entry fee but most exhibits are free. Holiday activities are usually available for children. Relaxing open area inside overlooking the river if you need some time-out space.

Maybe Brisbane can enjoy a variety of cultures? If you relax your appreciation with the experience, you can feel yourself fully relaxed.

The Marvel exhibition was awesome, especially the costumes, they were amazing. Definitely in the mood to watch a Marvel movie now. I love GOMA.

A lot of art, better than Santiago de Chile's small cuico scene.

Wonderful art museum. Great place for kids too. But it's freezing cold inside! It would be better for earth and for ourselves too put less air-conditionning.

I went up here with my family at the end of the last year. Great place to spend the day, the kids had a great time.

This is such a cool tourist spot if its your first time to Brisbane, its definitely worth of visiting. It's also great for pictures. I make it a point to take my friends here when they are visiting the city.

Spent a morning here. Some very unusual pieces. Very neat & clean.

Well it is official - Goma is now the most boring gallery I have visited. I used to be enthralled with Goma, Ron Muek, Valentino, Cai Guo Qiang all just wonderful drawcards but the last three years all visits have been wasted and More

Really good place. Some cool art that it constantly changing.

Great gallery, really enjoyed my stay in Brisbane thanks to it.

I just love this gallery. Constant changing displays and many of the greats. I love coming here and looking at the Picasso they have. Not hid blue period but his very early days when he was starting to explore expressionism.

A beautiful tranquil space, such considered architecture with views to hidden gardens. The gallery cafe is a great place to take a break, grab a coffee and relax with the paper.

Very weird art some things there that I wouldnt call art

Went to the Marvel exhibition. Felt sorry for the rest of the art gallery as we trapped through their stuff to get to the good stuff. Very long queues to get in but they queue kept moving so we did not wait long.

Exhibition was good, kids loved it. Various pieces to look at. Some interesting info their too about the history of how it all came together. $60 for a family ticket which is two adults and up to three kids. So not overly priced at all.

Wonderful displays of indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Islander art.

Loved it great feel and artwork lived here for some time finally got to visit thanks for the outstanding day Metalistik Metal Wall Art

Love visiting Goma. The Marvel exhibit was spectacular.

This is a great day out with the family, if you are into art you will not be dissapointed. Check out the restaurant as they do a good feed as well

One of my favourite weekend hangouts. Great exhibitions, nice views and fantastic air-conditioning.

A relaxing place, suitable for family and friends to come ~

Such a great gallery. Never disappointed. Go check it out.

Great artwork. Lots to see allow plenty of time. Cafe is great. Lovely setting.

Fun place to spend some time looking at interesting art works.

Fantastic area of interest and culture in the heart of Brisbane.

Exhibitions changes regularly and its always an eye opener to head on down to explore GOMA. Intriguing artworks.

One of my favourite places in Brisbane. GOMA is amazing!
