Perc Tucker Regional Gallery, Art museum and heritage site in Townsville, Australia.

The Perc Tucker Regional Gallery occupies a former Union Bank building with classical architectural elements, including colonnaded verandahs and Roman arches at 253 Flinders Street.

The structure, designed by architect Francis Drummond Greville Stanley, was built in 1885 as the Union Bank of Australia and received its second floor addition in 1933.

The gallery maintains a collection of 2,000 artworks focusing on North Queensland themes, including Contemporary Art of Tropical Queensland and Aboriginal art expressions.

The gallery provides free admission to visitors and features modern amenities such as air conditioning, an elevator, and updated lighting systems for optimal art viewing.

Every two years, the institution organizes Ephemera, an outdoor sculpture exhibition that extends along The Strand waterfront, displaying art pieces against coastal views.
