Galleries, Museums and Collections

Look into the eyes of artists, musicians, entertainers, politicians, athletes and royalty who’ve all shaped the nation at the National Portrait Gallery in Canberra.

Gain a greater understanding of Australia’s identity, history, creativity, culture and diversity via portraiture and stories.

Open daily except 25 December, and at the moment we need all visitors to pre-book a (free!) daily ticket. This will get you in to all of the gallery spaces, not just one exhibition.
