    Yayoi Kusama’s infinity room and Pollock’s Blue Poles were highlights

    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!

    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.

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

    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!
