Love taking my niece here for major exhibits, there's always fun rooms for kids and activities so she can interact with the exhibits. The movies programme is also really good.

What to do on a rainy day in Brisbane? GOMA of course! The exhibition of Aboriginal Art is amazing and gives a real insight into last 200+ years of history and the effects of the white invasion on the aboriginal community. Some of the art is quite confronting and really makes you think about the impact of 'white' people. Lets... More

Great gallery and a cafe which overlooks the Brisbane River. The ever changing displays in the Gallery of Modern Art make this venue a must for any art enthusiast. Staff are very friendly and happy to assist in any way they can.

Make a day of the area by going to the science centre and art gallery too, and... More

We made do with a walk around the stunning building and saw a few of the long-standing fixtures. The building makes the most of the river... More

My son, daughter and I went to see the Asia/Pacific contemporary art exhibition, the exhibition was well spread out and allowed you to easily walk amongst the art works, also there is a small theatre where there was a short movie playing, there is a clean open feel to the gallery and the displays are many and diverse, it is...
