Reviews
"Walking distance from Canberra centre, easy stroll from civic centre. 4 small exhibitions about the history of the establishment of Canberra. My favorite? Platypus exhibition, small not very informative but, learnt about platypus preservation at Coombs Peninsula. Worth a visit. Coffee shop & free Wi-Fi available."
"Worth a visit and good for something free. It will take about 30minutes to see and read everything if it’s 5 galleries"
"Had a lovely experience. The staff were friendly and it was small so made it quicker to get around as opposed to the national galleries. Enjoyed the diverse range of art. From the Nolan collection (more of this at the National Gallery if you like it), to jewelry, and unique glass sculptures and modern works from Lindy Lee."
"I loved the diversity of the exhibitions and the welcoming staff. This is a lovely venue with comfortable spaces that give you the space to take in the exhibits. A weekday visit is a good way to avoid crowds so you can take the time to appreciate everything that's on offer."
