Art Gallery of Western Australia

For a remote city in what's virtually outback Australia, the Art Gallery of Western Australia has quite a lot to its name. Among the collection's around 15,500 pieces, there are many indigenous works and more contemporary art by WA residents. But being so far away, the Art Gallery of Western Australia is first in line as a destination for travelling exhibitions and it’s hosted some of the world’s most famous art within its relatively simple, but stylish, brick walls. The two other large collections of work are of Asian art and western art, but within the main regional focuses, there are works in all kinds of formats, from huge sculptures arranged on the gallery's lawns to Renaissance drawings and photography. There's no charge to visit the gallery, but you sometimes get charged to see visiting exhibitions.
