About
The Art Gallery of Western Australia is the oldest visual arts organisation in the state, having acquired its first work of art in 1895. It is housed in two buildings: the main Gallery was completed in 1979 and the adjoining Centenary Galleries were restored in 1995. The Gallery's permanent collection comprises Australian and international works, with a particular emphasis on Aboriginal art. Its programs included the presentation of special temporary exhibitions of local, national, and international art together with the display of the permanent collections. This activity is complemented by educational and public programs.
