Wonderful gallery and just love the sculpture garden . You can spend a whole day strolling around here. A great collection of artworks - there is definitely something for any age or taste.

Stan Hunter

Love the architecture and the precinct. Often interesting shows and an interesting collection in their own right. Always enjoy a visit here.

Easily one of the best places to visit in Canberra. The collection is actually incredible (Pollock 's Blue Poles !) and the brutalist architecture is pretty damn cool too!

James Wilson

Have been upping their game in recent year in terms of international exhibitions . Very much appreciated.

Charges for parking on Public Holidays - now they've introduced paid parking, they're also gouging us on Public Holidays while it's free everywhere else. It's free @ the Nat Portrait Gallery !

Xize Sun

It was really nice as well . And many famous pics and some awesome ideas. Also, I found a pic about my first essay topic.

Fiona Hall's exhibit is fascinating. Only here until the beginning of July and they have daily walk through tours at 11am.

Beautiful gallery with stunning indigenous art !

Vincent Ramos

Don't miss Colin McCahon's 'Victory over death 2' (1970). Nolan's Kelly series is another must-see. Plus, take in Pollock 's 'Blue Poles ' to see what all that hoo-ha back when was about.
