The last time I visited MONA was back in (approximately) 2011/2012. It was during a German summer school and I was in a group tasked with guiding others in the program through the Museum. It was a much more relaxing visit yesterday and I was able to admire more of the architecture than I had…

The Art of Banksy: Without Limits has recently opened in Brisbane. I purchased my ticket as soon as they went on sale because, like so many people, I enjoy Banksy’s works and their broader political messages.

Last weekend, we left the city to visit Home of the Arts (HOTA) on the Gold Coast. We also met capybaras at Currumbin Sanctuary – a very worthwhile experience. This was my third time visiting HOTA and I have to say it is an exceptional regional gallery and I feel very fortunate to live a…

This evening I visited the Queensland Museum for their up-late Disney exhibition event. Disney: The Magic of Animation, showcases hundreds of original sketches from a variety of…

I am back in Melbourne for a short break before we fully enter the Christmas/holiday season. One of the main reasons for flying down was to see TIME by Rone, an exhibition currently on display in Flinders Street Station. It is truly one of the most stunning exhibitions I have ever seen. It combines my…

The National Gallery of Victoria (NGV) is spread across two separate locations. The artwork, Mass (by Ron Mueck), is located in The Ian Potter Centre, Federation Square. It’s a great space, showcasing artworks on three quite sizeable levels. I visited with a friend and our primary goal was to see Mass. When you see the…
