What you'll do
Start your morning with something special at the Art Gallery of New South Wales! You’ll step inside before the general public, giving you space to explore the collection in a calmer setting. On your 75-minute guided tour, an expert will lead you through two gallery buildings, sharing the stories behind standout Australian works, with a thoughtful focus on Indigenous art and the artists who shape it.
During the tour, enjoy a barista-made coffee or tea and a sweet treat with your guide at MOD Dining. Take in the stunning architecture and art while chatting with your guide.
Afterwards, take advantage of the Members Lounge for the rest of the day and reflect on the tour and fascinating art.
A visit to the gallery will ignite your imagination and leave you seeing Australian art, and its stories, in a whole new light.
