Gallery of Modern Art, Modern art museum in South Bank, Brisbane, Australia
The Gallery of Modern Art is a contemporary art museum located in South Bank that displays works by Australian and international artists. The building contains multiple exhibition areas where visitors can view paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other artistic mediums on rotating display.
The museum opened its doors in December 2006 as part of the Queensland Cultural Centre complex in Brisbane. Its establishment marked a major investment in contemporary art as an important part of the nation's cultural life.
The building hosts dedicated exhibition spaces for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists, showcasing their contemporary work alongside modern pieces. These areas reflect the artistic voices and creative practices of First Nations peoples as living and evolving traditions.
The building sits in South Bank, a cultural precinct that is easy to reach by public transport or car with nearby parking available. The courtyard and outdoor terraces provide spots to rest between exhibition viewings and are pleasant places to spend time when weather permits.
Inside the building operates the Australian Cinémathèque, a dedicated cinema facility for moving-image work that exists nowhere else within an Australian art museum. This rare combination allows visitors to experience contemporary film and video art alongside traditional art forms in a single location.
