national gallery of australia

The National Gallery of Australia's collections include more than 100,000 works of art across four main areas: Australian art, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art, Asian art and International art.

Australian art has always been at the core of the Gallery's collections. In many ways the collections of art from outside Australia have been built with the desire to relate these collections to the art of Australia.

Works in the Gallery are part of Australia's national collection. They belong to the people of Australia and are preserved and presented for their enjoyment and education. It is the Gallery's intention to make the collection as widely appreciated as possible both in Australia and overseas.
