Art Gallery of Western Australia

The Art Gallery of Western Australia holds the country's finest public collection of Western Australian Indigenous art, with over 2,000 works spanning 40,000 years of continuous culture. Its permanent display includes bark paintings, ochre carvings, and contemporary canvases that chart the world's oldest living traditions. Complementing this are major holdings of European old masters and modern Australian pieces, such as Sidney Nolan's Ned Kelly series. With a free admission model and over 500,000 visitors annually, it outperforms #10 White Rabbit Gallery in audience diversity and educational programming. The gallery's 2024 acquisition of Julie Dowling's 'Redfern' for $320,000 further underscores its commitment to elevating Indigenous voices.
