The Art Gallery of Western Australia is open with COVID-safe measures in place. Please check our current visitor information and entry conditions in response to COVID.

The Gallery’s rooftop redevelopment project Elevate is underway. Over the coming months some of our gallery spaces will be closed while works are taking place.

The Gallery is free to visit but we ask for a donation. Some special exhibitions are ticketed. To protect artworks, the Gallery is climate controlled and can be a little cool – bring a cardigan.

We welcome non-flash photography for personal use and love to see photos of your visit. #artgallerywa #myagwamoment #AGWA
