· 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 left a deep impression on me. I originally just dropped in while passing by.

In the basement level, there's a children's art creation zone - essentially a play area within the gallery, but one that demonstrates remarkable creativity and practicality.

The setup is simple but effective:

  • Two large tables

  • One side has stacks of bird line drawings that children can freely take and color

  • A display wall where completed artwork can be hung

  • The other side features craft materials, with temporary creations by visitors displayed on the wall

The level of children's engagement is impressive.

What's fascinating is that the walls showcase artwork by both adults and children - it's like a constantly evolving art installation in itself!
