About the National Gallery of Australia

Australia’s National Gallery of Australia (NGA) is the most prominent art museum in all of Australia. Founded by government fiat, it now functions as both an educational institution and exhibition space for artists from around this vast island nation to display their work; some 160 thousand pieces are stored within its walls! Located just outside Canberra at “The Hill” park—a scenic greenbelt overlooking Lake Burleyhead where you can find plenty more natural beauty if photography enthusiasts fancy themselves accomplishing something special while exploring—the NGA has been attracting visitors since it opened fifty years ago today back on June 12th 1967 .

They are on a mission to inspire all Australians. That’s why we’re bringing the best of creative and cultural work together in one place, with an expansive collection that draws from every corner – both locally, here at home or internationally too-to shine light onto new perspectives for people everywhere! Our events help you get closer than ever before while learning more about yourself through artistry like never before, whether it be as a simple visitor looking for appreciation amongst familiar pieces. Longer-term engagement begins after the initial encounter but do not let those walls fool you: there will always continue to be something different waiting just around each corner.

What to do at the National Gallery of Australia

The Gallery’s vision is to enrich all Australians through access to their national art gallery with high-quality displays and programs.
