Australian Modernism and its influences. The Twentieth Century was one of turbulence and art was an important part of the transition to modernity. Your guided tour will look at artists' responses to events and ideas, as well as the fascinating stories of people who made art in this period.
There is nothing like a personal interaction to spark the imagination. Whether you’re a seasoned artistic traveller or apprentice explorer, our Voluntary Gallery Guides, offer that extra insight and revealing glimpse into the artwork, the era and the artist.
We are revitalising the Gallery spaces. Over the coming months some of our gallery spaces will be closed. The format and scope of content for some of AGWA’s guided tours will therefore be adapted to suit these changes. We apologise for any inconvenience caused and thank you for your understanding during this time. Please ask our team at the front desk for more information.
