The Art gallery is amazing. You will need a good 1.5 hrs minimum. Enjoy a small meal while there. You can see some of my pictures of their starter options. Highly recommend it.

This is a must visit gallery if you are in Sydney. The gallery itself is like a walking museum, with pictures of a few hundred years old as well as contemporary arts displayed nicely here. It is really interesting to see how artist think when they draw these drawings. It is really calm your nerve down when you visit this place, and it is free as well

I came to visit the Hikoko Ito Happy Birthday 2U2 exhibit. I was so surprised to have a gallery worker there waiting for people to walk in and explain the concept of the exhibit and help us with questions. I sat here for a while to craft my card for my birthday twin. Sitting there with other visitors (strangers) while crafting for someone I haven’t met was a beautiful experience. Highly recommend!

Great place to visit and will be going back when we visit Sydney again. The building is beautiful and set elegantly in the Botanical Garden with sprawling lawn and beautiful views outside. Smoke parking in the underground parking lot. Great selection of art on display. Nice restaurant with really good coffee as well.
