About Art Gallery of South Australia
Details
Choose a little art to enjoy properly
The gallery was established in 1881 and moved to its current site in 1900. The opening year in the building details refers to that current site. Read the gallery's history.
A short visit can focus on a few collection rooms or one exhibition. Leave time to look closely and take a break, rather than treating the whole building as a checklist.
General admission is free; separately charged exhibitions and events have their own arrangements. Check the current programme and visitor map before arriving. Large bags and umbrellas may need to be left at the gallery's cloakroom.
AGSA_eat provides a separate lunch or refreshment stop within the gallery. Check the current bistro and deli options, and reserve a bistro table if appropriate.
