[title]When the weather’s not looking too peachy – or even when it is – Sydney’s best art galleries and top museums are some of our favourite places to be. Home to treasures that are sure to delight, surprise and make you think – often all at the same time – as well as thrilling exhibitions, there are plenty of things to marvel at.
Head under the sea and take your appreciation for sea creatures (and photographers) to a new level at the Maritime Museum, which is currently showing its Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibition, now in its 60th year. It’s showing until October 19.
Sydney’s Museum of Contemporary Art (MCA) presents the first solo museum exhibition by Kamilaroi artist Warraba Weatherall, whose work has been exhibited widely, nationally and internationally, over the past decade. You can see Shadow and Substance until September 21.
The MCA is also showing an exciting major winter show – Cerith Wyn Evans .... in light of the visible – the first comprehensive exhibition of the renowned Welsh artist in Australia, inviting visitors to stroll through monumental light sculptures (until October 19).
Chippendale's White Rabbit Gallery is featuring Tender Comrade, an epic new exhibition diving into the queer histories of ancient China, until November 9.
The Art Gallery of New South Wales is always a good time – and right now it’s showing Yolŋu power: the art of Yirrkala, bringing the beauty and brilliance of Yirrkala’s art to Sydney. Featuring nearly 300 works by 98 artists, the exhibition spans bark paintings and wooden sculptures to video art and digital installations (showing until October 6).
