The view is changing

There's an exciting transformation underway at the Art Gallery of Western Australia. 

To accommodate AGWA's redevelopment works, visitor access is from the Beaufort Street entrance with Pulse Perspectives on display in the Centenary Galleries. All other gallery spaces remain closed until the redevelopment works are complete.

PLEASE NOTE We are taking bookings for self-guided visits of Pulse Perspectives, but all other school bookings and guided tours are postponed until further notice.

You can find more information on the redevelopment works and planning your visit via the Plan Your Visit page.
