Why locals recommend it
The permanent collection is excellent, but they also have top visiting exhibitions. I often visit on weekends and take my kids—they have a fantastic family program. Alongside every exhibition here is a learning space for younger visitors where they can be tactile and engage without touching the art. They have a spectacular rooftop cafe with some of the best views of the Opera House and Harbour Bridge in the city. You can sit inside or outside and enjoy coffee and cake or a glass of wine and lunch. It’s nice to go on Wednesdays when it’s open late—along with the rest of the gallery.

Tips from locals
Really good collection with a fair rotation to pique your interest; wonderful cafe on the roof with fab views. Jump on the Tram down the street to Circular Quay and you'll be there in no time
Always have strong exhibitions. Team this with a visit to The Rocks as that’s where the gallery is located.
