  Amazing range of portraiture from the 17th centuries till present day. Interesting way to learn of the history and culture of Australia from the sitters as well as the artists who painted them.

  Enjoy breakfast or lunch on the deck overlooking the estate. Service is good, just one or two waiters that need to learn how to serve and clear tables. The gallery contains interesting historical portraits as well as some brand new ones. I can help but feeling that most of those portraits are there because the corporations don't want to hang them in their halls

  Wonderful place to visit. Brunch and a wander through the galleries. We were lucky enough to be there when the chorus for Esther were in rehearsal. The accoustics in the main entry hall are amazing.

  A building worth seeing in its own right with a excellent, well managed collection with a few blockbuster visiting exhibitions a year. Good parking(free on weekends) and wifi. Sadly the food in the cafe does not equal the surrounding. As usual for Canberra, friendly knowledgeable staff

  Great experience. Would have liked to read more about the artists, and was sad/concerned about the absence of measures to protect the paintings from idiots. I feel a bit sorry for security staff in that regard. Exceptional collection. that should be looked after better.
