Best Arts and Culture Places in Brisbane City

"Situated in Stanley Place on the South Bank of the Brisbane River, the Queensland Art Gallery is the state’s major visual arts institution, housing more than 15,000 Australian and international paintings, sculptures and decorative art. It’s worth letting a Volunteer Guide share their knowledge and take you on a 30-40 minute tour of the gallery to get some perspective of the huge range of works that make up the expanding collection.

"Considered one of Australia’s finest art galleries, QAGOMA came about in 2006, with the merging of the history Queensland Art Gallery (established in 1895), with the Gallery of Modern Art. Located in an architecturally significant building on Brisbane’s South Bank, the two galleries are home to some incredible visual art from around the world, along with work by Indigenous artists and interactive exhibits."

"If you only have time for a short art gallery immersion, there are two Brisbane galleries that should be on your list. Queensland Art Gallery and The Gallery of Modern Art are right beside each other, and entry is free unless you are visiting a special exhibition. It’s worth checking to see what’s on as apart from the fine collection of Australian and international paintings and sculptures."

"A hidden gem of Brisbane that many locals don’t seem to know, the QUT Art Museum is located on the edge of the City Botanical Garden and is an intimate university gallery showcasing rotating internally curated exhibitions, commissioned projects and touring exhibitions of modern and contemporary works by Australian artists. Always thought-provoking, entry is typically free and visiting only takes around an hour. If you make it here, you should combine it with a visit to their sister gallery nearby in the stately Old Government House dedicated to the works of Australia’s pre-eminent landscape artist, William Robinson."

"This fine collection of 2000 plus contemporary works encompasses sculpture, painting and decorative arts and as such has a strong showing of Australian art from the 1960’s onwards."

"Built in 1863, The Stock Exchange Hotel is one of the most iconic venues in the centre of Brisbane. Equipped with multiple dining areas, and a recent major makeover means one of them is a charming beer-garden style rooftop bar. Known as The Rooftop @ Stockies, the bar serves just about anything you could wish for from a great pub, including a large selection of brews, crafted cocktails, jugs to share, as well as a nice array of eats."

"Last year, Stone and Wood brought their laidback vibes and impeccable brews up from Byron Bay, making a heritage-listed building on Bridge Street its second home. Rocking an eight-hectolitre brewhouse and five fermenters, the brewers produce one-off small batch beers exclusively for the venue, with the team pouring them straight from the tanks behind the bar."

"Expectations were high, but Stone & Wood’s first tap room outside of Byron Bay doesn’t disappoint. This 150-seat, eight-hectolitre brewpub is in a heritage-listed warehouse on Bridge Street. The industrial atmosphere is complemented by the fit-out: exposed brickwork, steel and timber beams."
