"Every Wednesday night the gallery opens its doors till 10pm for the Art after Hours program. Best way to wonder aimlessly through the beautiful space with glass of wine in hand. I especially love the contrast between the old sandstone gallery and the striking, dominant modern skyline of Sydney CBD." - Grandma's Bar for 8 Hospitality
"A major public gallery featuring an extensive collection of Australian and international art."
"From Sept. 22-Oct. 8, the stunning Art Gallery of New South Wales will transform into a live music venue for a first-of-its-kind festival. For 17 days, Volume takes over the museum each night and brings fans of art, music, and film together for a wholly unique experience. Headlined by Grammy Award-winning multidisciplinary artist Solange Knowles, the festival will feature more than 50 performances that are both free and ticketed. The festival will also show off the newly expanded Art Gallery, first opened in December 2022 by Tokyo architects Kazuyo Sejima + Ryue Nishizawa of SANAA architecture firm." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"The new North building at the Art Gallery of New South Wales impressed me as a modern marvel and has been touted as the most significant cultural building in the city since the Opera House." - Laura Dannen Redman
"One hundred and fifty years after opening its doors, the Art Gallery of New South Wales has received a major redevelopment and expansion. The most notable addition to the institution, which has historically focused on European artworks, is the Sydney Modern Project, which nearly doubled the museum’s square footage. Designed by the Japanese architecture firm SANAA, the stand-alone building includes the Yiribana Gallery, a space dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art."
