Queensland Art Gallery, art museum in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia

Queensland Art Gallery is an art museum on the South Bank of the Brisbane River, housing Australian and international works across several connected gallery rooms. It sits directly next to the Gallery of Modern Art, known as GOMA, and the two buildings together form the QAGOMA complex.

Queensland Art Gallery was founded in 1895 and spent its early decades in central Brisbane before moving to its current building on South Bank in 1982. That move allowed the collection to grow and new galleries to open, including GOMA in 2006.

The gallery's flagship project is the Asia Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art, first held in 1993; staging it led to the founding of the Australian Centre of Asia Pacific Art (ACAPA) and to a collection of art from the region. The Children's Art Centre runs museum-based learning programs for children, and travelling exhibitions tour regional and remote Queensland.

Entry to the permanent collection is free, and the building is well signed so it is easy to find your way around. It is worth allowing extra time to visit the neighboring GOMA building as well, since both are part of the same complex and only a short walk apart.

The Watermall, the indoor water feature that divides the exhibition galleries from the administration and education areas, has itself held art: Huang Yong Ping's Ressort, a giant snake skeleton sculpture shown at the 7th Asia Pacific Triennial, was installed there and acquired by the gallery in 2012. The first painting bought for the collection, in 1896, was Blandford Fletcher's Evicted, withdrawn from display in 1949 by director Robert Campbell as merely sentimental.
