The largest art gallery in Australia and indeed Oceania, the NGA holds over 170,000 works of art housed in a striking Brutalist-style building.
While relatively small on the world stage, it’s the place to go for Australian art and is home to some icons of Western art. It also holds the best collection of Aboriginal and other indigenous Oceania art.
