Located next to the iconic Sydney Opera House and near Circular Quay, the Art Gallery of NSW is a 15-minute walk from either the Opera House or Sydney Tower. Established in 1874, it's one of Australia's three major art galleries and houses the nation's finest artistic treasures.

The gallery primarily features Australian artwork from various historical periods, complemented by works from Impressionist masters and Asian art collections. It also serves as the venue for judging and exhibiting the winners of Australia's three most prestigious annual art awards.
