Gallery of Modern Art

Did someone say, “largest gallery of modern and contemporary art”? You heard right! We are standing before the impressive Gallery of Modern Art, better known as GOMA. This architectural marvel, opened in December 2006, graces the South Bank precinct of Brisbane, Queensland. GOMA proudly holds the title of Australia’s largest gallery dedicated to modern and contemporary art, a testament to the country’s vibrant art scene. But GOMA is more than just a pretty face. Inside this architectural gem, you will discover a treasure trove of over 20,000 artworks from Australia and across the globe. It is a melting pot of creativity, featuring everything from paintings and sculptures to digital installations and video art. You’ll find masterpieces by renowned Australian artists, alongside captivating works by international artists, reflecting the Gallery’s commitment to showcasing a global perspective on art. Now, here’s a little secret for you. GOMA is not just about visual art! Tucked away inside is the Australian Cinémathèque, the only facility of its kind in an Australian art museum. This dedicated cinema space screens a diverse range of films, documentaries and video art, further enriching the gallery’s artistic landscape. GOMA is a testament to the power of art to inspire, challenge, and transport us to different worlds.
