Australian Art Stories Tour – Art Gallery of New South Wales

Discover Australia’s cultural story through art, architecture, and connection.

Accompanied by an expert gallery educator, you’ll journey through spaces where contemporary creativity meets heritage, and hear the stories that shaped Australia’s artistic identity.

Between galleries, take a moment to unwind at MOD Dining, enjoying coffee or tea with a sweet treat surrounded by light and art.
