Australian galleries
Have fun exploring Australian art in the collection and make some art of your own
In the 20th and 21st Australian galleries, some of the Gallery’s most famous and popular works of art are presented in new contexts alongside recent acquisitions and numerous works brought out of storage for the first time in years. Works across all media – paintings, sculpture, photography, video and prints – are included.

Our children’s trails are designed to engage young children aged 6-12 with selected objects and images in the Gallery and our exhibitions. They combine looking and interpreting, drawing and writing activities to enable children to explore key themes and ideas while in front of the artworks. Extension ideas for activities at home and in the classroom are also included to extend children’s experience beyond the Gallery and to encourage and develop a love of art. Available online or as free printed booklets at the Gallery.
