Visit the Grand Courts to view paintings from European masters and 19th-century Australian artists, and make sure to spend time in the Aboriginal art galleries.

  If you love art and seeing what humans can create out of paint, sculpture and random bits and bobs you'll love this place. If you want to watch an action movie you'll be bored to tears here. But if you want to feel cultured and look like you know what makes a painting so sophisticated and outstanding, take a stroll through here. It's free unless they have paid exhibitions on, which are usually great because you'll see things that you'd have to travel overseas to see, or online.

A beautiful place to walk around and enjoy the day whether it be on your own, with friends and family or loved ones. There is also a really nice place to eat... ENJOY!
