Cairns Art Gallery
What the experts agree on
Beautiful 1936 heritage building showcasing local and Indigenous art alongside Australian photography. The wood-paneled rooms create an intimate setting, though the collection feels eclectic rather than cohesive.
“The permanent collection of this acclaimed gallery, housed in the heritage-listed former State Government Insurance Office (1936), has an emphasis on local and Indigenous work.”
