The Queensland Art gallery houses a multitude of artworks, sculptures and crafts from around the world, however the vast majority of these pieces are indigenous to Australia. Wander through the halls of this stunning building and breathe in the magnificent traditional and modern works of art in a variety of galleries which include European, Asian, Australian and post-war pieces.Discover paintings and sculptures ranging from the 16th century through to the 20th century in the European galleries. Here you will come across wonderful works of art from Dutch still life to British portraiture as well as French masterpieces from late 19th and early 20th century. Picasso's La Belle Hollandaise is a fabulous example as is Blandford Fletcher's Evicted.Continue your cultural journey on to the Josephine Ulrick and Win Schubert galleries which specialise in Australian art from the period of colonisation (1788-1901). Beautiful examples of traditional landscapes and portraiture sit side by side with inspiring abstract pieces and Aboriginal art from the 1960s and 70s. Artworks of note are J. A. Clarke’s 1880 Panorama of Brisbane as well as the very popular Under the Jacaranda by R. G. Rivers.Move on to the post-war gallery where you will find magnificent visual responses to newly emerging modernist policies in a rapidly evolving world. Here in the post-war galleries you can examine collections from the 60s and 70s and appreciate works of art inspired by surrealism and German realism. Neolithic Asian artefacts, textiles and weapons from Southeast Asia, Japanese prints and Chinese ceramics fill the Asian galleries.Located in the Cultural Centre on South Bank, The Queensland Art Gallery and the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) are part of the same organisation. If you are travelling from the city centre, take the Victoria Bridge across the river. Parking is available nearby but it is pricey so walking or taking public transportation is advised. Admission is free to both galleries however special exhibitions may incur a fee. They are both open everyday apart from major holidays.
