Queensland Art Gallery & Gallery of Modern Art, Art museum in South Bank, Australia.
Queensland Art Gallery and Gallery of Modern Art occupy two connected buildings along the Brisbane River at South Bank. The spaces display paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other artworks in permanent and rotating exhibitions.
The art museum started with an initial collection and later underwent expansion to house contemporary art forms in a dedicated building. This growth transformed the institution and its role in the cultural life of the city.
The galleries display works by artists from Australia, Asia, and the Pacific region that visitors encounter throughout the exhibitions. Contemporary pieces in different media reflect the artistic voices and perspectives of these regions in ways that are visible and engaging.
The galleries are open daily to visitors, with general viewing requiring no admission fee. Some rotating exhibitions may involve separate charges, so check beforehand if you plan to see specific shows.
The complex houses Australia's first purpose-built cinema, showing selected films and art films through a dedicated program. This venue adds another dimension to the visual art collections and creates an extra artistic experience.
