Great museum and we'll worth stopping past. We visited outside a peak exhibition, so would think it would be even better during an exhibition. Spacious and well curated. Will definitely head back when an exhibition is on. Update: definitely even more spectacular during a major exhibition.

A lot of aboriginal art as you'd expect, some modern European art but not as much as I was hoping to see as I'm interested in all art not just one culture. The tours that explain the art are fab and free so definitely worth doing. You can spend as little as an hour to as long as you want here, depends on your taste. Not good for kids, please don't bring them, there's a café and there's big bag storage. Staff are very friendly.

Amazing place. I visited there twice. But couldn’t get the photos of this time. These are the photos from some months back. Great place to visit. When I went there lately, there were the show of paintings and those were from too long ago. But when I went there at first, there was the show of motorcycle collection which was from the first bike till now.

Great selection of art and a brilliant way to spend a couple of hours. The gift shop also has some classics with unique covers which can be hard to find anywhere else. Reasonably priced too. Loved visiting, would definitely go back again ☺️

The closest parking lot to the GOMA was closed in Apr-22, we just found parking in a side street nearby. Very interesting gallery, budget 1 - 1.5 hours to tour the galleries and then a little more for exhibits.

It's such a nice museum with very beautiful layouts, and the exhibition is so well presented with good commentary and background of the artwork. It's very quiet and there are staff walking around to make sure everything is well organised. There's also a little gift shop, toilets and cloak room at the entrance. The best thing is that it's free!

We bought tickets for the exhibitions on display eX De Medici and Michael Zavros which were both excellent. The gallery spaces are fantastic, modern, spacious and easy to navigate. The staff were very helpful. There is a cloak room, an excellent cafe, and a shop on site. There was only one other free exhibition which was a little disappointing but such is life.

It's amazing to skip the line with holding a membership card. Didn't expect that there could be so many people coming for the masterpieces when the exhibition is about to finish. But the layout and the interior decorations are more than much better than the one on Canberra earlier this year. Love the mirror corridor so much. It's amazing! Hope we can meet more milestones in the human's art history like these in Brisbane in the future.

It was good fun with my boy for few hours. There are many activities for kids as well. It was not busy and very well presented. Many art works were there than I expected.

Must visit in Brisbane. Fabulous facility and great exhibits. Something for everyone. Including fun interactive areas like the ‘put yourself in the frame’. Young artists catered for too. They always have fabulous kid’s areas to engage the younger audience in the art experience

Nice place regardless of weather condition. Specious, clean, modern, changes every few months. Great opportunities for yound artist and groups. Queensland Art Gallery was established in 1895 and moved to its current residence at South Bank in 1982. It was joined by the Gallery of Modern Art in 2006 and the galleries now house a globally significant collection of contemporary art from Australia, Asia and the Pacific. If in Brisbane it's nice place to visit.

As someone who loves art, I was delighted to visit this free art museum in Brisbane. The collection is impressive, with a diverse range of artwork from both local and international artists. I particularly enjoyed the contemporary pieces and the thought-provoking exhibitions that challenge traditional ways of thinking. However, compared to the Queensland Art Gallery, which is also free to enter, I found that this museum lacked some of the depth and breadth in its collection. Nevertheless, it's definitely worth a visit, especially if you're on a budget and looking for a cultural experience in the heart of the city. The museum also has a gift shop where you can pick up a souvenir to take home. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would recommend this museum to anyone looking for a dose of art and culture.

Only 2 exhibitions were free, the other two were quite expensive so we didn't bother. "Gone fishing" was free, and the indig. works diverse & exquisite. After we wandered down to the museum then to the QAG. The latter is entirely free, and we happily wandered every space. Magnificent!

One of the things Australia does exceptionally well at no matter which city you visit is investment into beautiful, well laid out and accessible public infrastructure, and GOMA is no exception. I loved being able to have the opportunity one sunny midweek morning to be able to take my teenage daughter to this wonderful free art museum in Brisbane. The collection on display is impressive, and the magnitude and solemness of the building architecture provides a very tranquil and reflective environment to contemplate the art on display. The external galleries overlooking the river are impressive and give a great view of the city and bridges. However, compared to the next door Queensland Art Gallery, which is also free to enter, I found that this gallery was quite a bit more formal in its approach and had a narrower range of exhibits and style on display. However, a must if in Brisbane and have time to explore the Southbank area. The museum has a small gift shop. Staff all very helpful and polite.

@QAGOMA (Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art) in Brisbane stands as a testament to the dynamic confluence of art, culture, and community. Located gracefully alongside the Brisbane River, its architectural splendor is enhanced by the tranquil waterscapes outside. Spanning both historical and contemporary art, QAGOMA provides a well-rounded view into the artistic evolution, making it a journey from the classics to the contemporary. The exhibitions are diverse and insightful, weaving together poignant narratives with captivating visuals. Special mention goes to their extensive collection of Indigenous art which paints a vivid picture of Australia's rich First Nations heritage. The gallery's interactive spaces cater to a broad audience, ensuring that art is more than just a visual treat, but an immersive experience. A hidden gem within the gallery is its comprehensive library. Stocked with a vast array of resources, it's a haven for researchers, students, and art enthusiasts alike. And the best part? It's accessible to everyone, free of charge. QAGOMA's dedicated team, ranging from the informative guides to the insightful curators, infuse the space with knowledge and passion, ensuring every visitor leaves with a deeper appreciation for the art. After soaking in the art, the in-house café offers a delightful respite. Serving up delicious bites with views of the river, it's the perfect space to relax and reflect. Plus, the added charm of a quaint little café corner ensures you can enjoy a quiet moment with a cuppa.

An amazing place to visit. Friendly staff, off street parking , buses and some little cafes close by. We visited the European Collection. Amazing exhibit. A must see for all level of Art lovers. Ends in October. Lines can be lengthy to get to exhibit, but worth the wait.

Awesome place. Very clean, beautiful art and sculptures. Cafe is lovely and the food if good. Has a wonderful Dementia art program for people.

Definitely worth a visit and a must see for everyone. Displays are regularly updated and prices , if charged, are normally fairly reasonable. Great to see many paintings of our local artists in prominent places and not just moved to the backroom. Photos are attached of The Art Gallery and GOMA. Photos of the Botany display ( which was a free entree) are also posted. Highly recommended.

We have seen 2 wonderful temporary exhibitions: one of eX de Medici and one of Michael Zavros. Extraordinary work of 2 extraordinary artists. I attach some pictures of eX de Medici's work.

Came here mostly for The Soul Trembles. Highly recommend the exhibition before it leaves in October 2022. Truly a breathtaking experience. Incredibly eerie and beautiful and sad and jarring and graceful and please go see it. Left me truly depressed which might have been the point. It was gorgeous. The rest of the gallery is also lovely and we'll curated. I am especially enamored with a certain perturbing elongated furby. Lovely little gallery. Was a joy to peruse.

This gallery is spectacular. We went to see the motorcycle exhibition and we couldn't rate it high enough. A brilliant collection of motorcycles - new, old and famous. So enjoyable. There was also a great local link with a 'design your own motorcycle' interactive online activity that's pitched from a West End company. Aside from the special exhibition the gallery itself is lovely - plenty of space to spread out, great management of people during COVID restrictions, and a thoughtful children's section with interactive activities incorporating tech and paper-based platforms. Plan for a few hours it makes for a lovely morning or afternoon activity.

Great gallery experience, there is always something to surprise you. I love the building, its unconventional and I feel like I'm exploring the building as much as the art. Make sure you you find the snowman - yep made of snow! The current Grand Masters special exhibition is well worth seeing. I assume most of the special exhibitions are worths going to.

We went to the Air Exhibition, like always the featured Exhibition was inspiring and thought provoking. The staff were very courteous and the toilet facilities were well maintained. As always I appreciated the cloaking room and adored the gift shop.

It was spectacular! Nice exhibition, very interesting materials and great work by different artists from different backgrounds and countries! Highly recommended 👌

Such a beautiful art gallery with so much history. All the staff are super friendly and are happy to help you. The exhibitions were just amazing! Definitely will be back

Motorcycle exhibit was brilliant. Very busy this time of year but it doesn't take away at all from the effort and hard work that's been put into this. Some of the most beautiful bikes I've ever seen and even some interactive experiences for the kids (young and old). Definitely a must a do if you're in Brissy

This is my favourite gallery/museum in Brisbane by far. It always seems to get a good set of exhibitions each year and has built a good collection for the free parts of the gallery. Kids love it, and there are always good activities for them. Great restaurant, too, but you need to book!

We visited on a Sunday afternoon at 2.30 PM. We longed for a cool drink and found the bistro. It was just lovely enjoying the end of summer with river views and a cold glass of beer and rose. Next to the exhibition called AIR. The start was a tad odd but the concept was GREAT. We discovered we have a Bodhi tree right in the heart of Brisbane. So good! Next, an overwhelmingly sad but beautiful expression of the toxicity of nuclear arms testing on Aboriginal land. Very impressive and all telling. Then, 30,000 black butterflies. Why black? We still don’t know …. Yet, then for the masterpiece “CHANGE”. Just this piece alone makes the exhibition amazing. We had a couple of drinks and olives at Brutus bar before going back home. An afternoon to treasure. XO

Very pleasant and with many exhibition options to enjoy. The structure of the museum is very large and excellent.

Always choosing Gallery of Modern Art as a destination to relax, learn, breathe whenever I have free time. We had so much fun and comfortable experience here. Thanks the staff, and all artists for these spectacular artworks!

Stunning venue. Service was excellent. Event however will not be one I would support, sponsor or attend again or the horrendous organiser. Venue was not at all well ventilated and a guest fainted at the fresco lunch. Fans should have been supplied due to the weather. On the rooftop there should have been some fans, and everyone could have enjoyed the event without feeling uncomfortable. Catering - a tad underwhelming, as was sadly very over cooked steaks.

What a great gallery, see photos but it's very Australian and without pretense some fabulous indigenous art works.

Exquisite. Finally got here to enjoy the cultural fusion that is APT10. The 10th year of the Asian Pacific Terrenial did not disappoint. Entry is FREE and there is so much to see with exhibitions changing every few months. Touring and special exhibitions have an entry fee but check their website for info. The children's section is massive with free activities to excite and stimulate away from the main exhibition areas. It was school holidays when I visited so it was full of children and their loved ones creating moments together. Travel to South Brisbane is very easy by train with good disability access. You avoid the stress of driving in the city and the $17 parking fee. There is a check in at GOMA and you must be vaccinated to enter. I prefer to use the cloak room and refrain from lugging around my belongs whilst viewing the art. I cannot express how amazing staff are and the joy this venue brings to my life as a culture vulture. The gift shop is stocked with books, gifts and all things arty from both exhibiting shows and well known artisans. Get out peoples and exercise your brain with the best Brisbane has to offer!!! 👏🏼🤙🏽

We had such a wonderful few hours taking in the stunning exhibits currently on display at #APT10QAGOMA GOMA 🙏 Particular favourites are displayed in my Photos. Loved the letters from a young man away at War Circa 1915 😇 I thought the way this exhibit presented each individual penned gem, ensured they were awarded the Celebration they deserved, so well done to the team at GOMA (I only posted 2 letters as they need to be seen in person) As my husband has to return to Sydney after a month here and therefore missing our Wedding Anniversary on the 23rd, we decided to celebrate 🍾 early at the amazing Cafe, in the beautiful outdoor dinning area (a favourite of mine) ❤ Then meals were delicious, mine was the snapper. One thing, a giant lizard 🦎 (bearded dragon) really took a liking to me, which caused a lot of laughter from other patrons LOL The staff assured me they don't bite, but hmmm . Perfect Day 10/10 #googlereviewer #ourworld #Brisbane

If you're going to take a day off work anytime this year, I encourage it to he ASAP...before the European Masterpiece exhibition goes back to New York. It ends on 17/10/21. Exquisite, divine, stunning! Be prepared for up to a 3 hour wait! The line is long! 1000% WORTH IT though!

Always a great place to spend the day. Great staff with outstanding professional service. Highly recommend the general entry exhibitions for those just wanting to amble. The fantastic thing about GOMA is they curate some amazing world class special exhibits - always worth the time and effort to visit. There’s a lovely cafe too.

Visited the MET exhibit and had a really great time. The art was amazing and it made me happy to see such great works available to view in Brisbane. There were even some interactive portions with references for drawing as well as a live model. Overall a great experience and would definitely return

This cafe has a lovely aspect as it faces the river. The service is OK - not great but not bad either. There were hardly any customers but the table we were directed to hadn’t been wiped down. After 3pm you need to be ok with takeaway cups and plates to allow them to close by 4. We had coffee which was nice and carrot cake which was nice but tasted as though it had been refrigerated too long. Try it out if only for the view.

I love the exhibits artworks here, the modern art displayed is tasteful and refreshing unlike most "morderm art" in other museums which is literally trash. I also love how the galleries are setup and the flow of traffic is rather easy and the staff are really very polite and friendly. I wouldn't mind coming back here on the next chance I get to visit Brisbane

I went to see the AIR exhibition on a lazy Wednesday. The exhibition celebrates and acknowledges the invisible air we all breathe and that it is something we all share and need. At the venue, the staff greeted me with a smile and were very courteous and helpful. It was easy to navigate to the ticket office inside and I purchased an adult ticket which was priced fairly for the exhibition. Several different artists contributed to the exhibition and the works are displayed in different rooms, creating a different thought provoking experience as I ventured through the exhibition. If you are in the area and looking to escape the heat of the day I'd recommend visiting GOMA.

The Gallery of Modern Art is a must-visit destination for any art lover visiting the city. The gallery is located in a beautiful building and is home to a stunning collection of contemporary art. The gallery's collection spans a range of styles and mediums, from painting and sculpture to video and installation art. The works on display are thought-provoking and inspiring, and showcase some of the most innovative and cutting-edge art being created today. The layout of the gallery is well-designed, with ample space between the exhibits and plenty of natural light. The gallery also has a number of comfortable seating areas where visitors can take a break and reflect on the art they have seen. One of the highlights of the gallery is the regular exhibitions and events that are held throughout the year. These showcase the work of both established and emerging artists and provide a unique insight into the contemporary art world. The staff at the gallery are knowledgeable and friendly, and are always on hand to answer questions or provide information about the art on display. They also offer guided tours and workshops, which are a great way to deepen your understanding of the art and artists on display. Overall, the Gallery of Modern Art is a world-class institution that is well worth a visit. Whether you are a seasoned art enthusiast or a casual observer, there is something for everyone here. The gallery offers a unique and engaging glimpse into the world of contemporary art, and is a true gem in the cultural landscape of the city.

A great event good for all ages. I met a beautiful man from India and his nephew. I really hope he enjoys his stay in Australia

Beautiful building, space and location and it's free entry. Obviously some of the art is amazing and some is considerably less so but that's the point right? It's all subjective. So really, highly recommend.

I loved the experience here a couple things the could do though is they need more interactive stuff it's really just looking at different paintings. A guy followed me and helped me and my grandmother look around. We saw some of Picasso's painting before he got into more pixelated stuff. Overall it was a great experience lots of walking but it was all worth it thank you sm art gallery

Pay attention to the date on the photos as we went only last week to find out the marvel displays are not permanently there. Only been for a while in 2016. There was another children favourite display and some arts that was okay. We enjoyed the art gallery in the museum very much just walking distance from Gallery of modern art. After these we walked down the river and enjoyed all the beauties that are there. In all this place is great for short visit.

Amazing freebie experience. Super large collections of modern art from around the world

Went to my first paid exhibition the other day- 'Fairy Tales'. There was certainly a lot to see and experience, and I really enjoyed it. It is darker in theme than I expected overall, but still great. GOMA is always a fun place to build into a day out in Brisbane!

My mum and I loved the Fairy Tales exhibition. Staff were so friendly and helpful. Exhibits were engaging and facilities were clean and accessible. I would’ve loved to have purchased something from the gift shop for my kids but found everything pretty expensive. A lovely collection of items inspired and front the exhibition though.

A little smaller than the capital galleries I've visited before but their Fairy Tales exhibition was excellent! Some very strong displays with interesting interpretation of elements we are so used to seeing in Western stories.

Beautiful gallery, staff are very efficient and kind. Buy tickets online ahead of time to beat the queues during school holidays. Fairy Tales was stunning because of the forest at the start and the dresses. Seemed a little shorter than other exhibits i have been to (took us about 20mins). Unexpected and unusual combination of art installations (Donkeyskin, Alice, Mirror Mirror, Beauty & the Beast). Due to school holidays, lots of line ups inside. Go towards the end of the day, if you want to take some extraordinary pictures in the forest.

Would recommend a visit here! It’s free for public entry however some of the experiences are ticketed. Really interesting and insightful

Absolutely stunning!! My daughters loved the Fairytales exhibition. Staff were lovely and accommodating. Just wish it wasn't so busy. Can't change that on Christmas holidays though.

The museum is modern and clean, snowglobes r cool. The fairytale exhibition only took 20mins to walk through and was more dark than magical. Thought that was a real waste of money

Great experience for any motorcycle fan. Over represented by European bikes however.

Easy acess always interesting

Really enjoyed the Collage to Meme exhibition, as well as the sound installation

Wonderful to see the Motorcycle Exhibition on now.... 👍

Here to watch the sea monster show with my girlfriend, excellent experience!

Love the eclectic and variety

Fabulous.

Always interesting, innovative, and unique. Brilliant location too.

11yo son and I had a great afternoon there looking at the motorbikes displays.

Nice big collection

Show was excellent

Always a pleasure to attend GOMA to see latest exhibition. Parking available in centre carpark (about $18), easy gives walking distance to GOMA.

Fantastic bike expo..will be back again before it ends.

Nice place to visit

Motorcycle exhibition is so much more expansive than I had dared to hope for. Bikes from early to futuristic and it is extraordinary that they have been able to bring so many together from around the world.

The Gordon Bennett show. Wow!!! Great artist. Great art.

Quite busy this time of year. Be prepared to sign in. No qit times though at 10.30am

Really enjoyed the Motor Cycle display and interactive. Lovely place to visit and always got something interesting going on.

Amazing display of motorcycles, Design, art from early century bikes to modern, over 100 bikes . Go see this before it's finished. Loved it.

Favourite place for my teenagers and me. I've been bringing them here since they were toddlers, and they are always made to feel welcome by the attentive and efficient staff. GOMA have the best exhibitions, and a lot of beautiful free galleries. Super calm, bright, friendly atmosphere.

A great day out to see the motorbike expo

We went to see the motorcycle exhibition. It was pretty cool. The kids enjoyed the interactive parts and art section. We had lunch at the Cafe underneath. The food was really awful so I'd recommend going somewhere else to eat.

I really enjoyed the Motorcycle event they put on showing the history of motor bikes. It was very well executed and enjoyable.

Awesome display of motorcycles threw the ages 🏍🛵

Always love visiting this place and the current motorcycle exhibition is brilliant and informative.

Unfortunately, too long a line (2 hours+) for a visit to the master's of European art exhibition...would have been nice...but covid and other issues, made it difficult...Cafe's need to be checked out carefully as not all are affordable or good...

GOMA provides another brilliant showpiece. The current exhibition, The Motorcycle - Design, Art, Desire, is fantastic. Showcasing 150 years of motorcycle design history from the first steam engine attached to a standard bicycle design through to modern road bikes and high performance rides of today. Each innovation is showcased with motorcycles borrowed from corporate, public and private collections around the globe. If you like motorcycles, innovation, history, engineering, art or design, this exhibition is worth the admission.

Once in a life time The Met exhibition in Brisbane. Wonderful decorations and installation to fit the classics of 65 pieces of oil paintings. Also time to enjoy 11am music performance, relax with a drawing opportunity as well as to buy some unusual MET souvenirs.

A great exhibition from the New York Met / just a tip - go in the afternoon otherwise you’re in for a long wait in the queues.

I would always come here for my art school excursions and had a blast each time. Some artworks are interactive, exotic, and makes the viewer think for themselves. The staff are friendly, the gallery is clean and big too.

Motor bikes exhibit is amazing

Motorcycle exhibition is awesome, very informative and a great collection 👏👏👏👏

nice place to walk around on a hot day

Great show. Ejoyed it immensely.

We went to the Motorcycle exhibition, and it was well layed out, and well worth the visit.

Great bike show on

GOMA is amazing. Besides the art and the grounds... Yes there was a 2hour line up for the MET European Masterpiece last day BUT they made sure everyone was hydrated and looked after the elderly, the families with babies and those who might need assistance and NO ONE had anything bad to say about the staff and line up (in my area of the line anyway). In fact it was quite the opposite. Love coming here.

Brisbane's best gallery by far, but not quite world class. I've often been very impressed but I've never been blown away like you would expect to be at The Met or MOMA or another "global gallery".

Saw the Motor Cycle exhibition, it was well worth the entry price & well set out.

Great show of motorcycles, loved it...

Great place to visit

Bike exhibition was terrific. Their COVID sign in processes need a bit of work.

Went and checked out the motorbike display. Really enjoyed the experience. Fun date with a new friend.

Some great art on display at the Goma

Brilliant and informative.

There is some think for ever one..

Motorcycle exhibition was amazing
