The Art Gallery of Western Australia | AGWA

(This review is directed mainly to the exhibition of Yoshitomo Nara.)I loved Yoshitomo Nara's exhibition within the ACWA. One thing that I believe is that with art, you don't have to make it complex, with theories there, theories that, yada yada. Yoshitomo didn't have to follow the complexity of Art Theory and maintained some emotion with it, and also, it looked really nice.I noticed that a lot of his artwork is directed towards the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing. His artwork is like visual protests towards having peace to the world; hoping that future generations don't create war (like his artwork Love or Nuclear made in 2013.) It gives me hope for the future world, for peace and tranquillity, and less atomic violence.I gotta say, the way his exhibition room is set up looks really nice and neatly done. I also love you can see the early untitled concepts of his sculptures, to see how much prototypes have changed over time, or if he just kept the design. Speaking of, his sculptures looked really beautiful and unique. The sculpture that was my personal favourite was Miss Forest (i assume that's what the tree lady is called), she looked really pretty. I also love some of the pottery and vases that he made (my favourite being 'reach out to the moon, even if we can't'. really love the name of that one).Overall, the Yoshitomo exhibition at ACWA was really nice. I recommend it.

Absolutely Stunning! Highly recommend! I will be going back again shortly to go back through the current exhibitions. It has such a stunning display of art from diverse backgrounds, incorporating all the cultures within Australia. The indigenous exhibition was very moving and I highly recommend the Pulse exhibit. The pictured piece is moving and some of the best art I've ever seen. The rendition of the girl with the pearl earring is elegant and sophisticated, it cleverly conveys the integration of cultures in Australia.

The first good thing is that it is free. What a nice surprise. There was a lot of different rooms with different types of art to see. We both found many interesting pieces. We loved the Pulse exhibit of young talent.

Love the weaving activity currently running. Lovely lady staff today. The accessible toilet and baby change is only on the ground floor and quite outdated unfortunately.

Love this art gallery. Always have some interesting art pieces. They also constantly have new exhibitions through out the year.There is a rooftop bar as well with a great view of Perth city.

Amazing service & friendly greetings. Offered a basket to keep our belongings so we can browse the space freely. Very nice art gallery too, aesthetic architecture and interior. We visited Yoshitomo Nara's display and it was free entry too! Overall amazing experience

We, the Ukrainian and Russian speaking NM TAFE students are very grateful to Art Gallery of WA" for having the excursions with tour guide Elena. It let us better understand Australian life through seeing the unique indigenous art and vibrant young artist's works. It helps us to integrate into Australian society."

Great museum. Great architecture and collection.Came here for the Yoshitomo Nara exhibit, great pieces that I never seen before. Been to a few Nara exhibits but this one is very intereting.Great for young children as they have an interactive zone that kids can play and build their own sculpture.Great shop and merchandise too.

Some impressive exhibitions on at present especially the Tom Malone Glass Prize with a 20 year retrospective of other year's winners. Stunning indigenous works and also the youthful talent of Year 12 artists on exhibition

Is there any better way to expand public's access to art than opening a door for free charge? I think the Art gallery of WA in Perth is a good example. Its geographical accessibility is good, but most of all, I felt the real effort of the gallery in trying to reach citizens by lowering the psychological and physical barriers to exhibitions.
