National Gallery of Australia reviews

Popped in for the first time in over 10 years. There is a massive variety of art to see at the gallery (see photos). The Matisse and Picasso exhibition is on at the moment so I went to that as well. It has heaps of information, a range of work by both artists and is very easy to work your way through. Well worth the money! I also enjoyed the pop art section and Dali film.

It was way more modern than I expected and there were many great works displayed. The architecture of the whole place is pretty incredible as well with little windows and nooks that accentuated the uniqueness of the building. We didn't stay too long so we were running around a little, but you could easily spend hours here. There are also great sculptures around outside of the Gallery so don't forget to allow time for a stroll after.
