It's
raining cats and dogs and you need to park yourself somewhere for
the morning or afternoon? Or you fancy yourself a critic of fine
art? Whatever your reasons, the Art Gallery is worth a visit.
Set
in the heart of Northbridge, the Art Gallery located in the Perth
Cultural Centre always makes for an interesting outing. Thousands
of exhibits will keep you enthralled for hours. Free 1 hour guided
tours by volunteers at 11am or 1pm are also on offer every day (except
mondays).
If
you need a break from all that visual feasting, visit Caffissimo
at the Gallery for a coffee, or browse the Art Gallery Gift Shop
which has on offer plenty of arty and funky gifts.
How
to get there:
By
Train
Catch the train and stop at Perth train station. Take the escalators
up to the upper concourse of the station (upper concourse heading
to Forrest Chase). Turn left and walk for a short distance over
the Roe Street pedestrian overpass. As you approach the Art Gallery
building, you should see a mural promoting current exhibits at the
Art Gallery.
By

City of Perth ones. Entrance to the State Library car park is via
