"The first good thing is that it is free. What a nice surprise. There was a lot of different rooms with different types of art to see. We both found many interesting pieces. We loved the Pulse exhibit of young talent."
"Absolutely Stunning! Highly recommend! I will be going back again shortly to go back through the current exhibitions. It has such a stunning display of art from diverse backgrounds, incorporating all the cultures within Australia. The indigenous exhibition was very moving and I highly recommend the Pulse exhibit. The pictured piece is moving and some of the best art I've ever seen. The rendition of the girl with the pearl earring is elegant and sophisticated, it cleverly conveys the integration of cultures in Australia."
"Amazing service & friendly greetings. Offered a basket to keep our belongings so we can browse the space freely. Very nice art gallery too, aesthetic architecture and interior. We visited Yoshitomo Nara's display and it was free entry too! Overall amazing experience"
"Love this art gallery. Always have some interesting art pieces. They also constantly have new exhibitions through out the year. There is a rooftop bar as well with a great view of Perth city."
"Love the weaving activity currently running. Lovely lady staff today. The accessible toilet and baby change is only on the ground floor and quite outdated unfortunately."
