Lonely Planet review

The National Gallery of Australia has a stunning collection of over 100,000 works of art representing four major areas: Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander, Australian (from colonial to contemporary), Asian and international. The spectacular Art of the Indian Subcontinent gallery showcases one of the largest Subcontinent collections outside of India.

The Australian treasures range from traditional Aboriginal art to Sydney Nolan's Ned Kelly series. There's also a striking Sculpture Garden, drawings, photographs, furniture, ceramics, fashion, textiles and silverware. Visiting exhibitions usually attract an admission fee. In addition to regular all-inclusive guided tours, there's also a tour focusing on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art. Visually impaired visitors should ask about the Braille Guide .
