This is a well set out gallery. Each room has a theme with good explanations about the exhibits. It has examples of ceramics, sculpture (including a Rodin collection) and glass which relate to the theme in each room. The paintings are dominated by Australian pastoral scenes but there are also some European examples. The exhibits are well spaced out so that there are no overcrowding hot spots. Well worth visiting.

Enjoyed all the sculptures and pieces on display. Took our time walking around and enjoying each gallery. It’s free entry and also has free guided tours at certain times. Staff are lovely and helpful.

A beautiful gallery with a wide variety of art. Loved the ‘Reimagining the Renaissance’ area and was especially excited to see Priestess of Delphi by John Collier. This is one of my favourite works of art and it was such a treat to see it in real life and on my birthday! I do wish the gift shop sold large prints of it as I would have loved to purchase one. I have seen some reviews regarding the sculpture ‘We are all flesh’ by Belgian artist Berlinde De Bruyckere… yes, it is confronting and controversial but that comes with the territory when you expose yourself to art. Many people have said it’s no longer a child friendly gallery but in reality life is far more confronting and controversial. Art isn’t here to cuddle you softly to sleep, it should get a reaction. When a work of art shakes you, take the time to delve into it and learn from it. Sheltering the youth does nothing for the future. I thought this sculpture was eye opening, I loved it, I love that it wasn’t passive, I love that it was shocking and disturbing. What is art if it doesn’t get a reaction out of you? I think this is a very valuable piece. Besides, you can’t cry about this if you’re serving animal corpses on your kids dinner plate every night for dinner. Stop hiding behind disassociation. My only disappointment and the reason I didn’t give 5 stars, was there was a piece that did not have a plaque with its name or a QR code to get more information on. I did ask a staff member but his response was that he doesn’t know, it’s quite gory and if I look at the details I should be able to work it out. I did understand the concept but I would have loved to have the name of the work and artist to be able to learn more about it.

Being from Sydney, I didn't think there would be galleries better than ours in other states but I was wrong! the Art Gallery Of South Australia would have to be better than any of the galleries that I have seen in Sydney. The gallery is completely free to enter, unless of course you are there for a paid exhibition and houses many amazing treasures. My friend and I spent well over an hour walking through the art gallery and looking at all of the beautiful works of art. I was pleasantly surprised to find a digital portrait of Lady Gaga in the museum, made this Little Monster very happy
