What to see

The Gallery’s collection comprises almost 47,000 works of art and design, featuring an extensive Australian collection – including works by Aboriginal and South Australian artists – contemporary art, and European and Asian collections.

When you are here, you might experience a display that crosses thousands of years of human history, delve into an exhibition of one artist’s singular vision, or become the artist in our interactive Studio.

You can also learn more through our program of talks.

Then relax and reflect, with bites and beverages at AGSA_eat and a world of offerings to savour at the Gallery Store.
