In the heart of trendy Northbridge, this gallery is part of the modern Perth Cultural centre, with a Centenary Gallery building housed in an old police station. There’s an exhausting collection of art on show, but the main draw is the ongoing exhibitions of Western Australian art from the 1820s-1960s, and traditional and contemporary Indigenous Art. Entry is free, and the colourful Gallery Shop is a work of art itself, stocked with beautiful books, prints and cool design products.

If rain stops play I wholly recommend the art gallery. It's not so big, so it doesn't take long to get around but it's air conditioned and quiet. There is always a gallery of indigenous art and the other galleries are rotated often. One really exciting exhibition is the Year 12 Perspectives; the state's best (equivalent) A-Level art pieces which are breathtaking.

It's right by Perth train station, quite close to the museum too (gold coin donation for entry there) and on the Northbridge side - so easy to get dinner afterwards!
