National Gallery of Australia
The National Gallery of Australia was established in 1967 and holds more than 100,000 works of art. The collections includes Australian art, Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander art, Asian art and International art.
The National Gallery of Australia strives to foster a greater understanding and knowledge of visual art and the creative process as well as increase sensitivity to cultural differences and cultural identity. The Gallery's education programs encourage visitors to better understand the power of creativity and imagination, to improve observation skills, participate in discussions and to learn from arts professionals.
While visual art is the main focus of the Gallery, other key learning areas that can be discussed in relation to works of art include English, studies of society and environment, Aboriginal studies, Asian studies, technology, civics and citizenship, health and languages other than English. Gallery educators are available to assist and plan visits to meet specific themes or educational needs.
