Arts & Museums

From ever-changing street art and world-class museums to iconic opera performances, Australia is home to countless cultural treasures. Take the pleasant 20-minute stroll through Sydney to the Art Gallery of New South Wales, one of Australia's leading cultural institutions and home to a significant body of work by Australian and international artists, as well as galleries dedicated to Aboriginal art (don't miss the Yiribana Gallery). Or spend the afternoon on Oxford Street in the trendy, upmarket neighbourhood of Paddington, home not only to some of Australia's most celebrated fashion (The Intersection and Desordre are both unmissable) but a thriving art and design scene.
