Although we came to Australia mainly for its natural scenery, when I was doing research beforehand, I discovered this place not only houses works by famous artists like Picasso, Van Gogh, and Cézanne, but also Australian artwork from various periods. It was truly worth the visit! I even got to see paintings by Xu Beihong - it gave me such an unexpected feeling of familiarity.

PS: Art enthusiasts absolutely shouldn't miss this. I checked the official website before going, which was very detailed, but my husband preferred the "lazy" approach - he downloaded a pocket guide app. We could listen to introductions while viewing the artworks, very convenient. The content matched the official descriptions but was more accessible while remaining professional. Especially for Picasso's paintings... I finally felt like I could understand them! I must recommend this amazing tool to everyone! Oh, and it even has self-driving routes - it's so convenient and useful, I can't put it down. I've practically become its biggest fan.
