Overview

Regional art galleries can sometimes get a bad wrap. Images of lacklustre landscapes kept too long in storage and mystifying sculptures might come to mind. But, with its impressive permanent collection, and as host to high-calibre touring exhibitions, Wollongong Art Gallery puts these preconceptions to bed.

It's one of the largest regional galleries in Australia and has been a feature of Wollongong since opening in 1978. The gallery is home to a collection of First Nations artworks from the 1950s onwards as well as contemporary and Asian art collections.
