Art Gallery of Western Australia

Honestly, I probably shouldn't compare this place with other galleries that I have visited because, honestly, that wouldn't be all that fair on this place. While it might not have paintings by big name painters such as the galleries in Sydney and Melbourne have, it still has some charm about it. The problem is that to get to the more traditional works you have to walk through the modern art section, which some people do find rather painful. However, it does serve its purpose well as a gallery displaying the works of Australian artists, and in particular Western Australian artists. Nothing too famous, but still a nice place to visit, especially since that it happens to be free.

Even if you're not into Art Gallery, a browse through the shop is enlightening. Creativity and wonder and plain beauty, all for sale! If you're into art, this place is a treat.
