Queensland Art Gallery

Queensland Art Gallery is in Brisbane’s Cultural Centre on South Bank, near the Brisbane River. Its collection brings together Australian and international art, including work by Indigenous artists, across a range of styles and media. Detailed information about artists and artworks helps you spend time with each piece, and free volunteer-led tours add context. The adjacent Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) makes it easy to explore more of QAGOMA in the same visit. Permanent exhibitions are generally free; some special exhibitions require a paid ticket.

Art from Australia and beyond

Queensland Art Gallery is part of the Queensland Cultural Centre on South Bank, close to the Brisbane River. Its collection includes Australian and international paintings, sculpture, decorative art and works on paper. Indigenous artists are represented alongside historical and contemporary work.

The gallery’s range spans different styles and media. Information about artists and artworks gives you a way into the collection as you move through the exhibitions. Displays change, and the gallery also hosts events and exhibitions in the evening.

A guided visit and more to explore

Volunteer guides lead free tours that last about 30 to 40 minutes. A tour can help you make sense of the variety of works on display; ask at the gallery about joining one during your visit.

The Gallery of Modern Art is next door, and together the two institutions are known as QAGOMA. You can extend your art visit there, or browse the gallery shops for art-related items. Permanent exhibitions are generally free to enter, while some special exhibitions require a paid ticket.
