You’ll find Western Australia’s state art gallery (AGWA) perched nice and conveniently in the centre of the Perth Cultural Precinct. Easily accessible by public transport and right in the middle of the city, this gallery houses a range of works from commissioned contemporary Aboriginal Art to the likes of Sidney Nolan and Lucian Freud. A trip to this central gem isn’t complete without ascending to the renovated rooftop area, complete with stunning 360-degree views of Perth’s city skyline, an open-air sculpture walk and an illuminating 34-metre artwork by Christopher Pease. The rooftop is actually the largest in the land (Perth, that is), accommodating up to 400 gallery-goers, to be exact.
Time Out tip: Time your visit, so you can watch the sunset from AGWA’s groovy rooftop bar – open every Friday and Saturday evening during the spring and summer months.
