extensive collection of free permanent exhibits (there's an interesting collection of porcelain from England in front of the library that no one seems to be able to find), plus rotating exhibits. personally I think their rotating exhibits are a little better than MCA's. reasonable price.

Words cannot describe the beauty of this place! This place holds more traditional art but every room was a treat! The contemporary art side was really cool. I cannot say enough about this Art Gallery! Exquisite art and sculptures! I could almost live in a place like that!

We saw the special exhibition of Dutch Masters. The quality of the displayed paintings was top notch. As always we wonder why such top shelf stuff is only afforded a rabit warren of a space. Due to its justifiable popularity it was often hard to veiw some of the paintings and the situation was made worse by the generous offering of free audio guides. Please place these sort of treasures in a more deserving space.

For so long the poorer cousin to Melbourne and Canberra, the Art Gallery of New South Wales' collection has grown substantially in recent years courtesy of generous private bequests and the fundraising programme of the Art Gallery Society. A spacial reorganisation has resulted in a revitalised and visually spectacular gallery complimented by regular international exhibitions with minimal disruption to the permanent collection. Current highlights include 'Nude' from the Tate Gallery featuring Rodin's 'The Kiss', the Lewis collection which includes works by Freud, Bacon, Soutine and Picasso, as well as a significant and very recent Majolica (ceramic) bequest. There's never a bad time to visit the Gallery, but now would be perfect.

We visited the Art Gallery to view the Archibald prize winner. Very crowded as some had complimentary tickets. I enjoyed the Archies young finalists although the winner is not chosen until after exhibition. Could not get close enough to taste their cuisine although it looked good.
