What to do and see in Perth, Western Australia: The Best Art Galleries

September 1, 2021 Emerita Lamoureux

Perched on the banks of the wide Swan River, between the Indian Ocean and the sands of the Nullarbor Desert, Perth is one of the world's most isolated cities, yet still boasts an active beach scene and smokin’ nightlife. Family-friendly Cottesloe is brimming with swimmers, surfers and snorkelers. Head north to Scarborough for a spirited beachside club scene. Coo at cute marsupials on ferry-accessible Rottnest Island, and don’t miss the views from King's Park and Botanic Gardens.

We were late finding this gallery,so only had an hour before closing. As we hurried round it was apparent we needed more time as the galleries were full of great art from aboriginal, old pioneers,brand new artists.What staggered us was the amount of well known pieces by famous artists and sculptures.
