A building worth seeing in its own right with a excellent, well managed collection with a few blockbuster visiting exhibitions a year. Good parking(free on weekends) and wifi. Sadly the food in the cafe does not equal the surrounding. As usual for Canberra, friendly knowledgeable staff

Enjoy breakfast or lunch on the deck overlooking the estate. Service is good, just one or two waiters that need to learn how to serve and clear tables. The gallery contains interesting historical portraits as well as some brand new ones. I can help but feeling that most of those portraits are there because the corporations don't want to hang them in their halls

Amazing range of portraiture from the 17th centuries till present day. Interesting way to learn of the history and culture of Australia from the sitters as well as the artists who painted them.

Wonderful place to visit. Brunch and a wander through the galleries. We were lucky enough to be there when the chorus for Esther were in rehearsal. The accoustics in the main entry hall are amazing.

First time visit and I loved it. The range of portraits is terrific. I was impressed with the celebration of woman and the wonderful portraits of important aboriginal people. Do yourself a favour.

Great experience. Would have liked to read more about the artists, and was sad/concerned about the absence of measures to protect the paintings from idiots. I feel a bit sorry for security staff in that regard. Exceptional collection. that should be looked after better.

This very well organized, destination Gallery is one of the best reasons to visit Canberra. Simply put, it's a superb collection of portraits of famous and occasionally less well known Australians by some of our most distinguished artists. The collection spans more than 230 years of Australian history and includes the very well known portrait of Captain James Cook. The permanent collection and changing exhibitions are well presented in superb architectural surroundings. Not to be missed!!!
