What it is

The gallery was founded in 1861. Its bluestone building by Roy Grounds opened in 1968, and visitors enter through an arch in a glass wall with water running down it. Inside, the Great Hall is covered by a stained-glass ceiling by Leonard French, one of the largest of its kind in the world.

The collection spans European old masters, Asian art, decorative arts, fashion, photography and contemporary work, and the gallery hosts large international exhibitions. Australian art is shown separately at the Ian Potter Centre on Federation Square.
