Art Gallery of Western Australia

In line with the Government of Western Australia's recommendations, the Art Gallery of WA have implemented a variety of public health and physical distancing measures to ensure the wellbeing of all visitors, volunteers and staff. We are grateful for the support we've received during our closure and look forward to welcoming you back. Read more information about visiting the Gallery.

Established in 1895, the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) resides in the heart of the Perth Cultural Centre, occupying a precinct of three heritage buildings. 

As one of Perth’s cultural icons, they provide a hub for visual arts in WA, showcasing local Australian artists alongside international counterparts, to stimulate ideas and encourage conversation. 

AGWA is home to the highly-regarded State Art Collection, which holds one of the world’s finest collections of Indigenous and pre-eminent Western Australian art and design, as well as other diverse exhibitions and displays that invite visitors to see things differently. 

The range of interactive projects include public programs, artist talks, panel discussions and education resources. 

In 2020 the Gallery celebrates 125 years.

Open Wednesday to Monday from 10am – 5pm, with the exception of Tuesdays, Good Friday, Anzac Day and Christmas Day.

Admission to the Gallery is free although donations are encouraged. An entry charge may apply to special exhibitions.
