One of Adelaide's Finest Buildings, Inside and Out

The Art Gallery of South Australia sits on North Terrace, right next door to the South Australian Museum, and is easily one of Adelaide's finest buildings before you've even stepped inside. It houses one of the country's most significant art collections, spanning Australian, European, Asian and North American works, with a particular strength in Indigenous art and the only dedicated Islamic gallery space in the country.

Entry to the permanent collection is always free, and the gallery is open every day of the year except Christmas, so it's an easy one to fit in whenever the mood strikes rather than something you need to plan around. Free guided tours run daily, or you can take your time wandering through at your own pace, whether that's a quick hour between other plans or a full afternoon working through the Elder Wing and beyond.
