  1. A

    Holmes à Court Gallery

    Idyllically located by the river in East Perth, the Holmes à Court Gallery was started by the late millionaire industrialist Robert Holmes à Court in the 1970s and today the collection comprises more than 3000 pieces. About one-third is made up of the best collection of canvas and bark paintings by Indigenous artists held in private hands; the remainder includes some of Australia’s leading contemporary artworks, and touring exhibitions.
