Australia has a thriving art scene that extends beyond its major metropolitan cities like Sydney and Melbourne. All around Australia, extraordinary art galleries can be found in unexpected locations like small rural communities and even underwater. Here's how you satisfy your need for art while traveling the nation.
 
Tarrawarra Art Museum
A one-hour drive east of Melbourne, in Victoria's stunning Yarra Valley wine area, is Healesville, a town known for its fine dining and wine. The TarraWarra Museum of Art, Australia's first privately-funded public visual arts museum, is also located there. With a focus on Australian art from the 1950s onward, TarraWarra Museum of Art features a collection that includes works by notable Australian artists such Brett Whiteley, Arthur Boyd, and John Olsen.
 
Art Gallery in Newcastle
Newcastle, located in New South Wales two hours north of Sydney, has seen a cultural rebirth recently, with arts institutions sprouting up to compliment the city's eating ...
... culture and breathtaking beaches. Though it was founded in 1957, the Newcastle Art Gallery is not a newcomer; it is home to one of Australia's most significant collections, which includes works of art from the colonial era to the present as well as Aboriginal bark paintings, Torres Strait Islander works on paper, and Japanese and Australian ceramics. Here, you may see some of the most inventive portrait and figurative paintings in the country and get a great overview of Australian art history.
 
Murray Bridge Regional Gallery
An hour's drive east of Adelaide, the state capital of South Australia, is the Murray Bridge Regional Art Gallery, which is located on the magnificent Murray River. In 2001, a group of art-loving locals created a community-managed venue that is today a professionally maintained gallery with three lovely display rooms. They feature everything from regional artwork to historically significant exhibitions, including the 2019 exhibition Weapons for the Soldier, which featured alternative depictions of conflict by Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal artists. Fantastic lighting and spacious, adaptable spaces make it possible to frequently show traveling exhibitions in their full capacity, which is unusual for a regional gallery.
 
So, these are some common yet famous Australian art galleries you may visit while visiting Australia. Make sure to take a guide so that you can get to know the history behind every gallery.
