Brisbane City, Queensland, is home to the Queensland Art Gallery (QAG) and the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA), which together form the Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art (QAGOMA). These two iconic institutions are located 150 meters apart within the Queensland Cultural Centre in South Bank, Brisbane. QAGOMA is a leading institution for contemporary art from Australia, Asia, and the Pacific.
The Queensland Art Gallery, established in 1895, houses a permanent collection of Australian, Asian, and International art, featuring over 18,500 works of historical, modern, and contemporary art. The Gallery of Modern Art, opened in 2006, focuses on contemporary art from the 1970s to the present day.
Visitors to QAGOMA can explore a diverse range of art forms, including sculptures, decorative art pieces, and multimedia installations created by both Australian and international artists. The Children's Art Centre offers interactive exhibitions and activities for young visitors, often curated by artists exhibiting within the galleries.
QAGOMA operates its own retail outlets and cafes, with proceeds supporting the institution. The galleries are open daily from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm, excluding certain holidays.
