Examples of some of the types of works exhibited at the gallery include West Australian art, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art and international art from all corners of the globe. Housing over 15,000 works in a historically significant site, our State Art Collection encompasses works from a broad array of media, which range from paintings and sculptures to ceramics and textiles. The Gallery also has a number of interesting programs which have been designed to inform and educate visitors. These programs include free guided tours, which are taken daily, and are definitely a must for guests. The Gallery also has educational programs on offer, which are aimed at both primary and secondary students. They allow not only for a theoretical experience, but an interactive one too, generating enthusiasm and creativity amongst students. The Art Gallery of Western Australia also provides a venue for many diverse, special events in Perth.
