After visiting Hyde Park and St. Mary's Cathedral, we made our way to this art gallery, which is just a short walk down Art Gallery Road. The gallery's exterior has a distinct Roman classical architectural style. It spans five levels - one above ground and the rest underground.

The gallery primarily showcases artworks representing the highest standards of Australian art. We were particularly intrigued by the children's exhibitions, which were quite fascinating. These days, when traveling with children, we always try to include local art galleries or museums in our itinerary. It's a great way to experience local art and culture, while also providing artistic exposure and education for the kids. The best part is that admission is free.

I recommend visiting if you have the time - it's worth the trip.
