· The three-level exhibition halls are underground. While the building's exterior isn't particularly tall, its intricately carved structure leaves a lasting impression.
· The fourth floor's bright halls feature 19th-century European and Australian art on one side and 20th-century Australian art on the other.
· The third floor showcases Asian and Oceanic art, with a significant portion dedicated to Chinese, Indian, and Japanese sculptures, ceramics, and paintings.
· The first floor displays traditional and contemporary Aboriginal art.

The Art Gallery of New South Wales is located next to St. Mary's Cathedral and close to Sydney Tower. Since attractions are concentrated in this area, visitors can plan to see them all together. I discovered this gallery after leaving St. Mary's Cathedral. The gallery has a rich collection, including works by Dali, and the building itself is distinctive - a legacy from when Australia was a British colony. As this is the state gallery of New South Wales, admission is free to visitors.

Upon entering, you first see some sculptures. The gallery has three floors, but due to time constraints, I only explored one floor where I appreciated some contemporary Sydney art, mostly oil paintings. After leaving the gallery, you can easily visit Sydney Tower as it's not far away.
