🎨 National Gallery of Australia – A Cultural Gem in Canberra

I dropped into the National Gallery of Australia and was genuinely impressed. It’s spacious, calming, and packed with a mix of classic and contemporary art. The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art section was a real highlight – powerful and deeply moving. Entry is free, and the gallery layout makes it easy to wander without feeling rushed. There’s also a peaceful sculpture garden outside, perfect for a stroll after taking in the exhibitions. Whether you’re into art or just looking for a quiet, inspiring space – it’s absolutely worth a visit. 🕰️Business Hours: Daily: 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM 📍Address: Parkes Place East, Parkes ACT 2600, Canberra 💰Average Price per Person: General admission is free, but some special exhibitions may have a ticket fee. 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: 🚻 Toilets: Clean, well-maintained restrooms throughout the gallery 🛍️ Gift Shop: Art books, prints, souvenirs, and unique Aussie-made gifts ☕ Café: On-site café with light meals, coffee, and outdoor seating ♿ Accessibility: Wheelchair accessible, with lifts and ramps 🎧 Audio guides & tours: Available for some exhibitions 🧥 Cloakroom: Free cloakroom for bags, coats, umbrellas, etc. 🅿️ Parking: Paid underground and street-level parking nearby (free on weekends.
