The Art Gallery of New South Wales acknowledges the traditional custodians of the country on which it is located, the Gadigal of the Eora nation, and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture.
Located just 15 minutes’ walk from Sydney’s city centre, top hotels, and the Sydney Opera House, the Art Gallery of New South Wales stands as one of Australia’s premier cultural destinations and Sydney’s must-see art museum.
Our unique art campus features two stunning buildings and an art garden with breathtaking Sydney Harbour views, in which you can discover historical and contemporary art from Australia and around the world, including the Yiribana Gallery, dedicated to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
The two buildings of the art museum campus have been given Aboriginal language names: Naala Nura for the sandstone original and Naala Badu for its stunning modern counterpart.
There are also two additional dining options in the Naala Badu – MOD. Dining, an all-day relaxed experience offering creative, edgy and diverse dishes using Australia’s best produce and an all-Australian wine list; and the Kiosk, a casual takeaway option situated in the new building’s outdoor Welcome Plaza with a menu developed by Gamilaroi elder Aunty Beryl Van-Oploo that highlights Indigenous Australian ingredients with light snacks and sweet treats. These are available in addition to the restaurant Crafted by Matt Moran and The Gallery Cafe in the Art Gallery’s Naala Nura.
