National Gallery of Australia
Overview
Delight in the art and world-class exhibitions on show at the National Gallery, on the shores of Canberra's Lake Burley Griffin. Art lovers will enjoy meandering through the galleries and admiring the collection, including the famous 'Blue Poles' by Jackson Pollock and the Ned Kelly series by Sidney Nolan.
