Art Gallery of Western Australia, Art museum in Perth Cultural Centre, Australia
The Art Gallery of Western Australia occupies a modernist building constructed in 1977, featuring innovative architectural elements with slab and column systems.
The institution started in 1895 and moved into the Jubilee Building, with its foundation stone laid by the Duke of Cornwall in July 1901.
The gallery maintains a collection of 18,000 artworks, including Indigenous traditional art and Western Australian pieces dating from the 1820s to 1960s.
Visitors can access the rooftop bar from 4 PM until late on Fridays and Saturdays, while the AGWA Design Store operates Wednesday through Monday.
The Desert River Sea exhibition, initiated in 2013, presents Indigenous Australian art through contemporary interpretations and traditional forms.
